My name is Michelle, I manage two farmstay accomodation cottages in the Gloucester area.
The cottages sleep 11 people in total with ample room for camping. The Glen Nature Reserve is just approximatly 10km drive from the cottages and is also accessable by walking from each of the cottages . The cottages are approximatly 15 minute drive from Gloucester on a sealed road. There are many lovely places to bush walk , enjoy cycling along peaceful country roads , relax and view the wild life, spend time swimming, boating or fishing from the large dams that are stocked with silver and golden perch, spend the evening sitting around the out door fire toasting marshmellows or laying back watching the stars .
For more information, contact details or to view the cottages visit www.freewebs.com/waterhensramble/waterhensramble.htm .
Hope to hear from you.
Kindest regards
Michelle
Our line dance group was formed in the early 1990's and has been conducting classes throughout the metropolitan area (and some regional areas) ever since.
Line dancing is a wonderful form of exercise for both body and mind and is proven to combat the onset of osteoperosis and alzheimers. We dance to a multitude of music styles and also run social activities such as overseas trips, camping weekends away and dance festivals. We are a fun, social group of people, no partner is needed and each class is paid for on an as you go basis.

Just to let you know that I have written two books relating to the Baby Boomers.
They are Titled " Knowledge And Fun Of The Boomer Years" and Knowledge And Fun OF The Boomer Years: Book Two".
The reason for writing these books was that there was not any material around for Diversional Therapists to use in Aged Care Facilities, these books can also be used for groups. They contain Quizzs and topics for reminiscence and discussion.
Do you remember to all those ads for Slip, Slop Slap? It all changed and is now Slip (on a shirt), Slop (on some sunscreen), Slap(on a hat) and also Seek (some shade) and Slide (on some sunglasses).
