Town

- Wrote a letter to send to the author of Bend Down and Listen, Mrs Nancy Robinson Flannery for permission to use extracts in the people section

Visited Farm for 5 days
- went on walk to Mt Lock, the highest mount in the area. On top there is a surveying point, and Mary-Anne taught me about these, and how geographers and surveyors used these points to survey the area
- recieved phone call from Mrs Robinson Flannery, regarding permission. She raised issues that she held about the authors of the stories having some copyright over the material, and how she is the editor, and under copyright, anything written is under copyright forever through generations, and published material for 50 years. However she gave me permission on her part to use the extracts
- took digital photos in the area and on Mt Lock for more photos in the images section
- continued working on the actual website
- scanned an old Hundred of Mannanarie map my Grandfather found in the farm office
- began creating a map - traced main features of another map, then scanned and traced on the computer
- typed up crop statistics, formed graphs and transferred to website

- continued research into web hosting, included emails with Steve Pollard from Chariot Internet, and downloaded application form
- made phonecalls and emails to and from Mary-Anne regarding web-hosting
- found that even though we would have preferred a .com address, but Chariot only permits .asn.au and .org.au addresses for the free account, and we would have to pay for internet access on a yearly basis. This is OK, as we already have an account that qualifies, and dad is happy to pay annually!
- learned how to send a fax from the computer, and sent the application form to Mary-Anne for her to complete
- sent an email to Mrs Flannery to advise her that I had recieved her letter, and thank her
- learned how to receive a fax from Mary-Anne on the computer
