Nice photo. That paddock with the limestone bluffs is called "Joe's Hundred Acres" and got its name long before I was born in 1952 so unfortunately I do not know who Joe was. My family farmed this property "Flandria" since the late 1800s. We had to sell it to pay death duties of $100,000 after my Dad (Maurits Cornille) passed away, aged 53, in 1975. "Flandria" was subdivided from the farm known as "Kwinta" (after a family farm in Flanders Belgium), my Uncle Wilfried farming the remaining "Kwinta" immediately south of "Flandria". It is my turangawaewae. Veronique Cornille
