As posted previously there are free services to local residence for tomboye.net services but Tony is also offering a more anonymous service at Online121.net so contact me if you are interested.
At a recent social event a number of locals resolved to do the following;
Are you an interested local then make sure you let us know. Are you skilled in history, media or biology and would like to be involved then please visit LaSourceProjects.org to join a project.
Leveraging my (Tony’s) knowledge of website design and construction I am now in a position to provide WordPress websites and support to Residents and Owners in the Tomboye area. Yes I would be happy to assist getting you up and running for your family or business activities.
I have put the infrastructure in place to support these services and along with your own email address available at Tomboye.net you can really join the Internet revolution.
Happy new year from the Tomboye Community.
We will continue to build this resource for the local community – see the links under More Information in the menu – we have just added a link to Southern Tablelands Weather. Please send your ideas and notices. You first point of contact can start here
Remember to Visit the Tomboye Landcare site.
I just found that detailed photos of items and signs on freeways are available on the Hume highway. This may allow you to send a friend a photo of a turn off without taking it yourself.
see here for Sutton Forest to Goulburn as an example
Wildlife corridors provide an opportunity for native species to move between otherwise disconnected areas. This is increasingly important to maintain diversity and support the migration of species through the environment increasingly affected by human development.
As a founding member of a country Landcare group and having submitted a grant application for hundreds of trees, we want to plant to create a wildlife corridor between a crown reserve and other forests.
I am calling for expressions of interest (Your email address for now) from people who would like to join us in this project and a special weekend retreat to boot. Once the weather starts to warm, perhaps in November, and with a small bus or car pooling organised from both Sydney or Canberra, you can come and camp (Some accommodation and tents available), enjoy a social get together, with some food provided, and spend a few hours each day planting trees and shrubs on the boarder of two properties.
Enjoy the stars, a bush walk or a red wine on the veranda and meeting people. If you are interested you can also learn more about the Landcare movement or our own La source initiatives. In you free time your will be free to wander around more than 850 acres of country side.
Possibly interested ?, for this and similar events then let me know at events@lasource.com.au, and in this case with a subject of “wildlife corridor”and approximately where you are located for transport purposes.
South of Tomboye Road, Near the river and Lot 14 (Both Lot1 and 2 affected). No reported property damage.
More info after the weekend.
By registering the Tomboye.Net domain name it has been possible for us to setup a range of services that the local community can make use of.
One of these is email@tomboye.net, why would you consider this and what are the details behind this ?, That is what this news post is about ?
Most people obtain their first email address for free as set up by their Internet Service Provider. When you buy an internet connection service eg; bigpond you may be given an email address such as yourname@bigpond.com.au, unfortunately, because someone else may share you name you do not always get your preferred name (they all need to be unique under the domain name eg: bigpond.com.au).
We are not always satisfied with our ISP or a new better deal comes along so we change the company we deal with. Unfortunately this means we often loose our email address and get another one.
Rather than getting you email address from your ISP you can get free or paid email addresses from an email service provider such as Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo. These can have a range of pros and cons but at least you do not need to change your address every time you change your ISP.
Some of the disadvantages with these email providers includes; Unfriendly names yourname3456@hotmail.com, or so much advertising it is very slow to load, and distracting.
I have some experience with each of these and can recommend Gmail as the best by a country mile. There are many reasons for this, some of which will be evident in the next section.
It is possible to register a domain name such as tomboye.net, as I have and create emails accounts under that name such as yourname@tomboye.net, I have done this buy making use of Googles services to do this. Now you can choose whatever name you want and have the same advantages as using an email service provider.
I have chosen the Google services for a number of reasons, but most of all, the options available are fantastic, these include.
You can use yourname@tomboye.net to
Because we control the tomboye.net domain we can move this on to another service provider if we are unhappy – because we own the names not them.
So if you live locally send me an email at 
or give me a call to discuss and I can arrange not only the email address of your choice but help set you up and train you in its use.

Landcare information here is already available on the new site and will be progressively removed from here.
You may notice we have a new home here at www.tomboye.net. We will leave a reminder at the old location but but please update your links.
