~12th Of Never~

Hi Cheryl and Bob

it was great chatting to you a couple of days ago at the banyan tree park near Litchfield NP and after checking into your website I realised the 15 mn chat was not even a scratch on the surface

we are the French Sydney based family travelling towards the west and we would love to stop at your place later in the year and hear more about your fabulous travels

we should be around the Adelaide hills by late November so we'll be in touch by then

safe travels

Aymeric & Julie

Hi Bob and Cheryl

Hope you are both well.  Seems a long time since seeing you again at Planet Baobab, even though it's only been a couple of weeks.  We're back in Joburg now, after heading from Planet Baobab up to Chobe, where we ended up staying at Kubu Lodge, then travelled down through Zimbabwe via the Falls, then Hwange and Motopos.  Let us know when you're in Joburg, so that hopefully we can hook up and have that drink around the fire we had intended to have in Chobe.

Best wishes from Ross, Natascha, Oliver and Claudia.

Hi Cheryl and Bob,

Like Christine, I was very happy to have read your story in The Courier and have been happily reading your blog. I remember helping you with your last trip to Kenya, while I was with Flight Centre (I'm now a mummy of a 6wk old baby boy, Cooper) Your work is amzing and very inspiring! I hope to follow your path one of these days and will definately be coming out to see your garden!

All the best, Olivia

G'day Christine....  thanks so much for taking the time to email us.  It's nice to get feedback that people are really reading this site.  I'm glad our site got you all inspired, maybe you too will head off into the wilds one day.... who knows what the future will bring.  Look forward to your visit when you come.  I am just preparing now for the Callington show on Sunday. lots of work.!!

Hello Cheryl and Bob.  I am not sure if my last message got to you I made a mistake with the words in the box below.  Anyway to recap, I remember having lovely chats and visits from you when I owned the florist in Strathalbyn, many moons ago.  I saw the lovely artical about you in the Courier, when I was out tonight, coped down your web address came home and have been having a great time reading your blog and looking at your pictures.  Fantastic, you have certainly got my travel and 'want to do something worthwhile' juices flowing.  I look forward to visiting your garden when you open in November and will catch up with you then.  Cheers for now Christine Owen
