Forgotten Gardens. Some time in the last 50 years this would have been a memorial rose garden with an arbor. The CWA (Country Women’s Association of New South Wales) established this garden but it seems to have fallen out of use, possibly because the local chapter at Kootingal lost track of the project. I believe some of these roses are probably the root stock that sprouted after the grafted rose died off in the drought. Picture 4 shows a really old rose trunk. The other plant has many shoots coming straight out of the ground which is classic for regrowing root stock. #Flower #Rose #arbor #Kootingal #CWA #rootstock #australiangarden #memorial #ForgottenGarden (at Kootingal, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci13mZMvRVW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Preparing for the future
The National Construction Code is the general rule book for how we must build in Australia. When it was updated this year, it brought in a new section called Livable Housing Design. The idea of this section was to change the design of homes to make them easier to use and more adaptable to the changing needs of occupants. Versatility comes through reducing the need for steps, adding more space into at least one bathroom, building wider doorways and allowing for future adaptations such as adding grabrails.
With these features, new homes would suit a much greater range of occupants in the future; whether able bodied, disabled or injured; young or old. If your circumstances changed there’d be less need to modify the house or worse - move home - to try to find a house that fulfilled your needs.
It makes sense! Most of us will live into our old age, by which time we might be very settled in the home we’ve lived in for many years and not want to move. But with old age can come mobility issues, and if that house you’ve lived in for years no longer suits then it becomes a question of modifications or renovations to make it suit (which can be expensive), living in a house that makes life difficult, or moving.
But unlike other states, NSW chose not to adopt the new Livable Housing Design requirements. Therefore new homes built in NSW have NO need to comply with these new design standards.
If you’re about to have a new home built, there’s still no reason you can’t ask for some or all of these design features to be included. Accidents happen and everyone ages. Even if you’re planning on selling before you reach that stage of life, then the new buyer of your home faces the same outlook. Homes last generations and our population is aging.
We’re facing this exact situation within our extended family at the moment so it's an issue that's really at the front of our mind. A home built for my parents to retire to when they were in their 60s has two showers; both small and neither of which are large enough to really fit a chair. Now that they are both in their 90s and starting to not move so well, a shower that is easy to access and that can fit a chair (and some handrails) is becoming essential. Without it, they risk having to move out of home should there be any further health issues. And so a complete bathroom renovation is on the cards.
How we now wish that the builder of that house at the time had known to make a shower larger! Or that a friend had warned our family of the problem that was being set in place!
So let us now be that friend to you. It’s always much cheaper, simpler and better to design this functionality into a home right from the start; even if it won’t be needed for many years.
Our recent Kootingal home was built with this forward thinking in mind:
Extra wide doorways will allow for wheelchair access if it is ever needed.
The house can be accessed without steps from the garage
Bathroom walls have reinforcing to allow for grab rails
Access to the large shower is simple, and versatility reigns as it features a beautiful stone seat for the option of standing or sitting; with two shower outlets both overhead and hand-held
Ask about incorporating some of these features in your new home - your future self will thank you!

Mathew Murray from Wagga has actually built a career on the backs of working horses and horsemen|The Daily Marketer
newsletters, editors-pick-list, Mathew Murray, Mathew Murray Saddlery, Wagga Saddlery, custom saddles Wagga Mathew Murray was 10 years old when he understood what his life's vocation would be. While tinkering about amongst his dad's bridles and saddles, he developed a love for leather work. His work as a custom-made saddler has actually taken him all over the country, consisting of a major relocation to Wagga from the north of the state in 2011." I began making saddles in the yard, and had a few orders but the leather kept going astray," Mr Murray stated." We were living in Kooringal and it kept going to Kootingal, big bags of leather going somewhere else." I ended up with nothing to do, and I was just riding my bike around Lake Albert tossing business cards in any mail box that had a horse [in the yard] Prior to you understand it, a bloke strolled in and ordered 2." It was that move that truly released his nationwide saddlery practice." Before we understood it, we were that busy we took over the Copland Street shop, and we were there for a long period of time," Mr Murray stated. Now working from a home-based workshop in Lake Albert, the organisation has continued to boom." The demand hasn't stopped, we're still getting orders from all around Australia. Inquiries are available in from everywhere, "Mr Murray stated. There is a special story behind every saddle Mr Murray develops. But a lot more distinct is the story of how it gets to its location. "We have actually sent them to the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, in Australia Bramwell Station in northern Queensland is the farthest point we've sent it, that's as far north as you can go before Australia ends up being Brand-new Guinea," Mr Murray stated. "We have actually sent them to Alice Springs, Tassie, even Cameron's Corner, on the boundary in between South Australia and Queensland." For some of the more isolated location, a chartered airplane has actually delivered the plan straight to the recipient. In others, it has been through a number of carriers and messengers prior to it finally shows up in the hands of the one who purchased it. "It's off the charts, we've never ever lost or had actually one harmed in all those years," Mr Murray said. In the end, the quality of its crafting indicates the saddle can endure the journey without problem. That, at least, is a point of pride for Mr Murray. "One of the very first saddles I ever made, I've repaired it and offered it on simply two years earlier. It was still as excellent as the day it was made," he said. "Like anything well made, it's easy to repair it." Crafting a long-suffering saddle, Mr Murray said, comes down to totally knowing its usages. "All of it boils down to knowing how they operate," he said. "You've got to be a horseman. I've been lucky to grow up with horses, and I have actually still got them. I know horses, I might draw them as good as taking a look at them. "Good horsemen have been around as long as time. Homer and Caesar composed of good horsemen There are things that they did that still work today." It likewise comes down to learning the trade from the hands of the terrific masters. "A factory made saddle is practical, but that's all it is. A custom-made saddle is something you keep, it's a heirloom," Mr Murray said. "I have actually got one that's 74 years of ages, I gather the old ones a bit, put them up on my wall. It's the work of the great masters. I relax and have an appearance at what they've done, there's a great deal of knowledge in them that's simply not around anymore."

Mock Vervain or Mock Verbena, (Glandularia), is in the family Verbenaceae. They are native to the Americas. Obviously that means they are a weed in Australia. Find the hungry caterpillar 🐛. These dear little flowers are growing on pathways and disturbed areas around Kootingal near Tamworth. We are up for the weekend for the dog show.

Sunroom flexibility
Winter: a time when we seek out the most sun we can get. All the better when we can have this streaming into our house; it does the job of warming it for us!
Our house in Kootingal features a Sunroom - perfect for those winter days. Heavy-framed stacker doors open wide to join this to the general living area, but can be shut when it suits. Because they’re internal doors, they’re in the white colour scheme to match the other internal doors.
Another second set of stacking doors open onto the Alfresco. Double-glazed, when they’re closed the temperature within the home can be easily maintained.
When an Alfresco is built on the North side, an unintended side-effect can be that it blocks the sun from reaching through to your home. To get around this, the Alfresco ceiling has been built in a raked style to keep it high. This lets the low winter sun through, but as the summer sun is on a higher angle, it will be kept out.
The double-door design for this sunroom brings flexibility, and our client tells us she is finding the room very useful! It can be joined to either the outside or the inside; or both. A multi-purpose space for many occasions.

That’s an unusual flower!! We had a little drama on the way back from Kootingal. A friend travelling behind us phoned to say that one of the tyres on the caravan had exploded. I really didn’t even notice it. Short stop 20 minutes or so.

ENORMOUS Yellow Climbing Rose at Kootingal (Rosa Banksiae Lutea) also known as Lady Banks' rose, or just Banks' rose, it’s native to central and western China. This shows just how big a rose like this can actually grow. It’s at least 10 metres (32’) wide and 5 metres (16’) high. Now fully in flower it’s growing along a chain link fence at Kootingal Recreation Reserve. All my cuttings at home have managed to strike. #Rose #YellowClimbingRose #thornless #flower #abcmygarden #myplants #China #BanksRose #LadyBanksRose #RosaBanksiaeLutea #cutting #climber (at Kootingal, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci4dNARvqa1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
