Only a month to go until Rockhampton’s triennial Beef Week Exposition, running from 7th to the 12th of May, 2012. I’ll be there again this year, in the Walter Pearce Pavilion at tradefair stand number 45. This year, not far from the restaurant – so I’ll be able to smell food, even though I won’t [...]
Fiona Lake Blog
'Life as an Australian Horseman' & 'A Million Acre Masterpiece' contain hundreds of fascinating photos of Australian outback cattle stations.
Authentically Australian, these unique coffee-table books are enjoyed by every age and people from all walks of life. These books are especially appreciated by people who are hard to buy gifts for. The first edition of 'A Million Acre Masterpiece' sold out but it has been reprinted due to popular demand, and the sequel 'Life as an Australian Horseman' was only published a few months ago. But there's no need to take my word for it - read what other people have said about books in Testimonials.
Orders for 2 or more books receive a good discount plus a free carrybag screen printed with photographs taken in the NT & WA. All orders mailed overseas receive a free carrybag also.

Phone problems & the NBN
March 23rd, 2012Please note that our phone has not been working properly since Saturday 17th March (we can ring out, most of the time, but callers trying to ring us either get just a dial tone, crackling or other sounds – it doesn’t even go to Messagebank, which is a first).

AACo – Corella Lake on Brunette Downs
March 17th, 2012It was nice to open up the Townsville Bulletin today and see David Farley, CEO of the Australian Agricultural Company (AACo). Because he is standing in front of one of my aerial photographs of Corella Lake, one of the large freshwater lakes on the AAco’s blue-ribbon cattle station in the Northern Territory, Brunette Downs.

Fiona Lake on Twitter – FionaLakeAus
March 6th, 2012Despite not posting any Twitter messages I started collecting Twitter followers, so thought I’d better send out the occasional tweet. Follow my occasional twitter messages @ FionaLakeAus (the world is full of people called Fiona Lake). What inspired this sudden enthusiasm? One of my LinkedIn contacts sent a tweet about a possum that broke into [...]
Business operating hours – Future Dates Away-office closures

On the rare occasions when I am away, orders for books, cards and photographs are packed and mailed as soon as I return. Then email, mail and phone messages are [...]

Australian Outback Calendars – outback photos
October 13th, 2011After many years of customer requests I was all teed up to finally produce a 2012 Australian outback calendar. I even had the format planned and most of the photos picked out. Just before I got stuck right into calendar production, I was approached by Landmark because they wanted the 2012 Landmark calendar to feature large [...]
Rockhampton’s Beef Week, to be held every 2 years
September 30th, 2011The Beef Australia committee is surveying the public to gauge opinions on whether the Rockhampton Beef Week event should become biennial (every second year) rather than triennial (every 3 years). Attending Beef Week at Rockhampton costs me more than $5,000 to attend as an exhibitor: not much short of $1,000 in accommodation (6 nights, scalper rates in a caravan [...]
