Hello,

Another New south Welshman rears his head. Good to see the community is growing and looking forward to sharing with all. Have spent a moment or ten cruising the pages and love it, has totally destroyed my productivity at work...do work??? surf Aquaponics??? ...its no contest the accounts will wait. As with many have huge aspirations of that ultimate system but lack patience and abilty so really looking forward to a bumpy ride . But happy to share the dream and the reality of the ride.

Hello, Well I'm up near psychochook, but on the beach almost near byron bay.
Ummm... have kept a lot of fish and bred a few too.
Have a nice veggie garden and working on combining the 2 together.
Don't mind a bit of DIY.
Bit of a fish geek and mod/report/own and contribute to a fair few groups/sites/newsletters on the fish. Keeps me off the streets anyway.

Hello to all,

We are another NSW AP initiative (near Berry, NSW) that got underway about 6 months ago using a UVI raft type system following the advice of Dr Wilson Lennard (www.aquaponic.com.au). We have started at hobby scale but hope to advance to a small commercial operation as I move into full retirement. I would like to thank Joel Malcolm and this forum that first introduced me to AP.

Hi Al, welcome. Photos are gr8, start up ur own thread in members systems. We would all love to see how things are going.
What is the going rate for advice from Dr Lennard if u don't mind me asking?

Welcome Alchemist... Bellawongarah... as in Bellawongarah B&B - Country Retreat????

You're just down the road... would love to come and have a look sometime

Been around a little while but thought I should add myself in here now that I actually have a small system up and running. I am in Wollongong.

Hi Twintragics,

I was surprised to get a couple of responses to my short message so quickly. Just shows how active this Backyard Aquaponics forum is!

My wife and I made contact with Wilson Lennard at an Aquaculture/Aquaponics symposium held in the Fish Market in Sydney about September 2006. He and other speakers such as Jim Rakocy and Nick Savidov were en-route to some major Aquaculture Conference in Adelaide. Wilson was interested in helping the likes of me with a small acreage and an interest in some retirement pocket money. I have found his advice very useful. Beyond that, I think you need to talk to him direct. Use the website contact I supplied. I will give some thought to supplying some photos of our set-up but it is significantly different than the ebb and flow system. Cheers.

Photos would be great Al.... start your own thread mate.... we'd all be interested in something different... sure there'd be lots of questions.

Hello RupertofOz,

Yes, I'm in your area fairly often myself. I know Deb at Bellawongarah B&B well but live a little distance down the road. Maybe reciprocal visits. Send me a PM. I have been what you guys call a lurker for a while because of my somewhat different set-up and circumstances but have got a lot of useful info off the forum (eg Steves info on nitrite concentration which was an issue for me at one stage and someone elses automatic dog -I mean -fish feeder more recently) so felt I might be able to offer something in return in the future. Incidentally, I have noted with interest a lot of your personal contributions. Thanks for the interest.
