Welcome to Ridgy-Didge!

Ridgy-Didge is Australian colloquial for 'just right' or rather 'fair dinkum!'

When we bought the property over 7 years ago, it only had a number and no name. It needed a name as the place certainly has a personality. Well, it sits on a ridge with a grand view northwards to the Bunya Mountains, so what could be more 'all right' than sitting on the veranda with that view, whilst you have your breakfast or in the evenings with a glass of Australian wine? Or even watching the amazing stars at night or the tail-end of a storm as the lightning flashs in the vaste banks of clouds. Or maybe seeing a pair of Wedge-tail eagles as they soar in circles in the high thermals of the vasteness of the azure sky?

This house is a 100 year old Queenslander cottage. Quite small and unpretentious, but it has a gentle atmosphere and we have had many friends and family members come to stay and have enjoyed the peace and quiet of the place.

The Midnight Hour!


There was an 'almost full' moon the night before last and our 2 dogs where barking to go out.
I then realised there was more than just the barking noise! Not too far away I could hear the howling of dingos. No wonder Jasper and Rannoch where desperate to get out. Maybe to join the pack. It is certainly an eerie sound to hear the singing of the dingos on a moonlit night.

At 5.3oa.m. I was up to go to the bathroom and noticed the 'Moon Set' through the window. It looked so beautiful through the branches of the beautiful white gum tree.
My picture doesn't give full credit I am afraid.
