LOCATION: Four Farms, The Darling District
LEADER: Pat Kramer
None of the four are showcase houses – they are on working farms and lived in by families.
As such they reveal all the problems of living in an old building while keeping up the constant maintenance. They should be of great interest to all Vernacs.

Bring a picnic lunch. Be prepared for rainy conditions!

LIFTS TO OUTINGS
Sharon Barry-Taylor has offered to coordinate lifts for both those offering a lift and those needing a lift. This should cater for those who do not wish to drive far out of the city, whilst at the same time cutting fuel costs and Sharon will work out what each person in the car should pay towards the trip.
Sharon writes:
“It will help to make our trips economical & I would like to work on a calculation of cost per km so that it would be fairly accurate on ongoing current prices. I am on Whatsapp 076 562 8151 which would be useful to communicate on as it is cheap & we could form groups who take turns in areas where we live.
My home phone number is 021 671 1387- there is an answering machine after 4 rings & I am prepared to phone back after 7 pm or at a weekends when I get free calls”.
