some customer feedback...


Each year letters, notes and emails come in from locals,
visitors, people interstate and those overseas. Here are a few..

"We have received your lovely Calendars on Friday, they are outstanding, but you got the address quite wrong on the post bag, my grandson thought it was hilarious that we live in RABBIT CREEK...but never mind they made it...I am 72 years and was born in Millaa Millaa, long ago and it is great that a small place like Ravenshoe can produce something that good. Keep up the good work."

- I Walsh, Rapid Creek, NT


"G'day folks, while enjoying a little holiday in your lovely part of the world early in '05 I bought one of your fantastic & magical Tropical North Queensland calendars - 12 frameable prints - a re-enactment of jolly James Cook's arrival into the Endeavour River on the front cover (the best thing I ever bought). Will you have any for sale this year? If so, what cost to have one packed & posted down to NSW?"

- A. Belfast, Peakhurst NSW


"Thankyou so much for posting the 2 calendars...They are really great. I’m sure our friend in Canada will enjoy it as much as we will. We really love them. Just so different from the rest"


- K. Constantine, Talbot VIC


"Many thanks for the calendar – it arrived safely yesterday. I like the new layout – bigger – but not too big – in fact just the right size. Lots of information inside too…it makes interesting reading and we can show off our knowledge to family in Irvinebank – like “did you go to the market yesterday”!! etc. Also it will be nice to plan holidays around events when we next come over."


- R. & L Hart, England

"The calendar has been added to a collective record (Australian calendars 2008) and appears in the Library's catalogue and also on the National Bibliographic Database (Libraries Australia). The calendar will be preserved in the national collection and may be accessed by library users within the Library building. This ensures that a comprehensive collection of publications relating to Australia and the Australian people is maintained for future generations."

"North Queensland floods my poetry. I think it takes about 40 years to understand ... the magic of place. It's great to see the capturing of it so beautifully as you are doing. Box of calendars ordered 21/10/04.

Thank you..."(author’s poem attached, Pub. 'The Endless Place [1999])

Innisfail paw-paw
In a shopping mall.
Plastic netted white
Deep orange pod.
Under tubed light
Layers where I trod.
Smells from times passsed
By filligree trees.
Humid cut grass
Near family knees.
Succulent, nourishing
Innocent, whole -
Centre replenishing
Body and soul.
Innisfail paw-paw -
Memories' lore.

- J Collier, Ben Lomond NSW
