Disclosure of funding sources
This is a private web site receiving no funds from a third party. Web hosting is via a commercial web host and unsponsored. Advertisements are unsolicited and gratis and the editor’s choice. Even the beloved Hunter Valley Gardens don’t send me free tickets. I consider the admission fee to the Gardens a steal.

The inclusion of third party advertisements will not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, warranty, or recommendation. The editor will make every effort to distinguish advertisement, if present, from the editorial content by appropriate labelling.
