Domain hosting?

[echnidna]

As a non commercial website of value to the community you should be able to get free web hosting from the Vic State Library.

You might even get assistance from tourist groups and councils.

Start by looking around the vicnet website at
http://www.vicnet.net.au/

But vicnet charges heaps if you want to use your own domain name.

So when I did The Scout Camp website I used www.netfirms.com to get a free front page (actually I set up a few different front pages)

So one of the scout camp addresses is www.brucknellpark.netfirms.com.
Which is reasonably easy for users, though not a true domain
But when you click to enter you go to the vicnet site.

Never had a problem with these people http://www.communityguide.com.au/

might be right down your alley!

In case you are not aware of it, to be eligible for a ".com.au" domain, you need an ABN and/or registered business name. There's no such requirement for ".com"

I have no experience with them but have been recommended to http://www.netregistry.com.au/

They do domain names: .com.au for $44.95 for 2 years and .com for $39.90 for 2 years. They also do web hosting from $15.95 per month. (100mb storage and 5gb traffic) - presumably without annoying advertising pop-ups, etc. that usually come with free web hosting.

SmartyHost do 100mb storage and 20gb bandwidth for Au$8.33 per month

Domain names (.ID) for Au$ 29.95 for 2 years

We are up at Castlemaine every weekend with a camera - if you need some photographs taken, I might be able to help out.

Cool.
That would be great.

Make them hi res if possible, I will send you my email address so you can send them.

We went through Castlemaine on the weekend on the way back from Avoca.
I was too tired after partying on Saturday night to take any piccys.

Im after photos of any signifcant building, no matter how small the building.
Bridges.
Laneways etc.

There are some amazing buildings in Chewton that are one room shops/dwellings that are just wasting away in the elements.

I read this after your PM Al. Will see what I can find - it there is anything specific though let me know - I am not a history buff - don't know much about it, but love stonework and old building techniques. We stupidly decided to build our own house out of stone too.

The Garfield wheel stucture.
Chewton, any of it, its all good.
Fryerstown and the ruins on the way to it..
Main buildings in Castlemaine.

Obscure angles, look at any angle and click.

I spent may a happy hour gold detecting in and around Castlemaine as you can probably tell.

Your outlook on Castlemaine will be different from mine, which is absolutely fantabulous from a photo point of view.

Thanks.

A little closer to home, you may want to take some pictures around warrandyte. Even do a walk around the old mine shafts, there are still a number around (though some of these have now been closed off by the council). I spent hours walking around the state park here and there are still an amazing amount of stuff still just lying around out there.

I was thinking that too.
Warrandyte was the first gold field in Vic.
