"This Calender combines Australian and European traditions"

"Indigenous Australians observe changing weather and environmental patterns and resulting cycles of local seasons. On Each page of this calendar the large scene photos were taken in that month, over a period of twenty years. ( It must be remembered that flowers vary with the elevation, the soil, the aspect and the weather from year to year. You will not always find the same flowers in the same month as portrayed here.)

In Europe, a calendar in the home is a long tradition: be it the familiar annual version or the Perpetual one to record important recurring dates such as family birthdays.

It is our hope that however you choose to use our calendar, you will take peasure in the colour and beaty of the year in the Grampians Gariwerd."

"All photographs by kees and Margo Sietsma. All Profits from the sale of this Calendar go to the Community Association of Halls Gap for the upkeep of our Botanical Gardens of Grampians flora.

Dedicated to the memory of Kees Sietsma. with thanks to God, creator and Sustainer.
