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.

Later on Tuesday.



It's raining again!
Here is a view from the veranda which shows our bubbling stream and in the near distance a bit of flooding on the Darling Downs.Also some to the extreme right. Nothing as bad as in some areas thankfully.
Also if you enlarge the photo of the little oak tree in our garden, there are 4 cute little Barred Finches sitting 'flounced-up' and nestling together on the left hand branch. No doubt discussing the weather!
