Maggi now they would associate Potter with Harry Potter so that changes with time :)

Howdy All,

Came across this thread...... was ill at the time so never contributed.  Quite fascinating seeing what elevations people are at who are friends here on the forum.  Canberra is around 570m (varies depending who you talk to, but give or take 5m) above sea level, but I don't know about my actual garden.  If the official level for the city is at the airport like the climate statistics are, then I am a bit higher than that but not a lot. 
Cheers.

Canberra, Australia.
Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

Great excitement today. The photo for my town has been replaced on Google Earth. It's not very sharp but you will be able to see the gravel paths between the raised beds. I'm supposed to be 258m above sea level but at school we were told we were c50 feet. When you look you will see a planes vapour trail

A planter used to be someone who owned, lived on or worked on, a plantation and drank Planter's Punch? :)
