TeckoGecko

I'm on the committee for the Oral History Association of Australia (Qld Inc.) and earlier this year we decided to get our own web site. We finally settled on a fairly new company, TeckoGecko Small Business Websites Brisbane, and we have been very pleased with the result. Although this is a new business for them, they have a lot of IT experience and provide innovative ways for getting businesses on-line. As they grow, their services to clients will also expand. For example, they provide tutorials for many aspects of managing web sites and are always on hand to provide additional assistance. They are friendly and professional to deal with and provide training so clients can manage their own sites. As a small not-for-profit association, OHAA also found the cost of setting up our web site very reasonable. And ......... they have the cutest business logo!!

Barbecue by the Dam

We had a lovely barbecue picnic by Wivenhoe Dam last week. The beautiful Brisbane winter added to the occasion - sunshine, warmth, no wind - perfect! Terry cooked steak and sausages on the little barbecue provided, but we brought our own wood - just as well, as that was not provided. It was great to see so much water in the dam after the terrible drought we've had and then lots of rain has brought the dam to life again. Terry had found on the internet that there were disabled toilets at the site on the National Public Toilet Map. What a great service! So there was no excuse not to go for a drive out there. It was so good to get away and do something "normal" like we used to do.
