Garden Happenings in September ..... In the context of this blog posting, Ken and Harriet Aitken own five acres (2.00 hectares) of land .... of light open bush mixed with open areas of grass among the trees on as slight southern slope. As at 2007, we bought land out at Chambers Flat Rd., Chambers Flat which is 35 Kms. out from Brisbane, Australia in 1977 = 30 years on. We bought land for $A13,00.00 in1977. Now we are in the middle of everything .... not that we want to sell. Acreage land has become very valuable around us now. We live in a special house built largely of demolition timber and stone, built twenty seven years ago in 1981 for a fraction of the cost of a new house ($A32.000). Some of the stone is very old from the late 1800's. Australia as a whole was only settled after 1788. Compared other countries, the 1800's is very old to us.
