The Dutch landed both voluntarily and by shipwreck around the north coast of Western Australia and met up with "the poorest and most miserable race on earth" . They had maps of that part but it is a pretty bleak and inhostipital area - very difficult to colonise and nothing much to trade with.

A short one to finish off the month of September. The content of this one makes me SO grateful for modern refrigeration.
Anne -- thanks for your comment. We get lots of news about how it's going in Oz - I hope that you were at home (well, not in NSW) when once again your State's borders closed..... and of course I hope that you and yours are well.
Cheers
Gail

Yay! New fridge. I hope that the old one was working adequately while you had to wait.....
We had lemons in short supply (not the season in NZ right now) while the grocery chains awaited shipments from the Northern Hemisphere.
Here is Section 51.

Besides being thankful for refrigeration (especially you and yours right not), I am again reminded of what an advance it has been to understand the role of microbes in disease. Still, I know people who don't quite get it -- and seem to believe that if you get cold (cause), you will get a cold (effect). Well educated too, but not in biology....

51 PL OK!
Sadly. no. The freezer side became a frig and the frig side became a breadbox. Not having a freezer was a challenge.I hope that the old one was working adequately while you had to wait.....

No freezer would be difficult. My 46 year old stove ceased working about 6 months ago while we were in lockdown and finding one that would fit the space and was available on line was interesting and we then had to prove we couldn't live without one before we could get it installed

We've been lucky not to have any appliance breakdowns. But really, have to prove you couldn't live without a stove???? Still, Victoria has done a pretty good job against Covid. My problems with no lemons for making tabbouleh are trivial compared to no fridge or stove.annise wrote: ↑January 18th, 2021, 5:56 pm No freezer would be difficult.

Hi Again --

Banks must have been pretty sick to have nothing to write for many of the days of December 1770. Hence, it is short.
4:13.7, 89.5 dB
Take care.

Alas, no lemon tree. Peaches, pears, blackcurrants, red currants, gooseberries.... but no lemons. However the ice cube trick is a good idea for winter when lemons are plentiful, good and relatively cheap! Thanks
