Ausemade Content Additions

After requests by followers of our Ausemade website, we are now listing a selection of some of our new pages and changes or additions to existing pages here.

As this website is a labour of love (I work full time during the day/week), I am sometimes slow in adding new content and contributions, so please bear with me and you are always welcome to chat with me via email or through messenger on Facebook.

If you would also like to donate to help us with the cost of operating and maintaining Ausemade, we have a Donations page.
