New Motor X Park for the Sunshine Coast at Kenilworth

A close freind has just opened a new Motor X Park on the Sunshine Coast at Kenilworth.
Park Lands Moto X Park is a magic place for a weekend outing with the family. The track is open all year round on weekends & public holidays. (Week days by arrangement too).
The owners have installed a watering system to keep the dust down and the park being at Kenilworth is reasonably dry all year round unlike the Coolum track which experiences coastal showers frequently. As we all know the rain just hasn't stopped on the coast lately and the kids have been climbing the walls! There are 4 tracks that suit kids right through to 100ft tabletops to get the adrenalin running. So Check out www.parklandsMX.com.au

PLANT.ID the latest trading post for plants

Check out the latest Australian trading post for plants website PLANT.ID (Plant Internet Directory). It has plant classifieds, free plants for the public, as well as catering for plant professionals with a Professionals Directory and Trade Register. This would have to be one of the most useful Australian-only content websites I've seen with great gardening hints and articles that are ACCURATE, RELATIVE and TOPICAL. It's smart because it incorporates a diverse range of tradespeople and paraprofessionals related to the Gardening and Lifestyle Horticulture industry who can all be accessed from one website portal that is available to people 24-7. I have subscribed to the E-newsletter to keep up to date whith the latest new plant releases and info.
