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.

Flooding.

We had 2 inches of rain again yesterday. We are safe, but can't get in to town. Thankfully my friend and I cancelled our trip to Toowoomba yesterday. The most horrifying flash flooding occurred there yesterday and dreadful mesh and even some people missing. I couldn't sleep as the rain fell all night and thunder growling around, or rather slamming about. I feel quite concerned and worried about it all. Thankfully as I say we are ok.
