Only a month to go until Rockhampton’s triennial Beef Week Exposition, running from 7th to the 12th of May, 2012.

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).

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?

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.

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 […]
Fax orders no longer received
July 1st, 2011Almost all orders are now made online, with just a few received by phone and by mail. Very few orders are received by fax. As 99.99% of the faxes received are now unsolicited junk mail, I’ve decided to do away with receiving faxes. It will save half a forest of trees, plus a quantity of […]
