Hello RedSnake351,
No, I'm not from Germany...I'm of English origin, but have spent most of the last 45 years based here in Western Australia...
The reference to "Heidelberg" as my username is actually due to the name of our home.
We purchased a historic Estate in the Perth hills called "Heidelberg Estate" about 8 years ago and the original settler of the land and builder of the homestead called it "Heidelberg".
He was a Canadian who had travelled the world and he named his settlement "Heidelberg" because of the fondness he had for Heidelberg in Germany. He apparently saw similarities in the geography and called this valley "his little Heidelberg"...
Heidelberg Estate was established originally in 1893 as a 300 acre settlement, but over the years, land has been sold off and today, we are the owners of Heidelberg Estate which is 21 acres. We have developed the property into a lovely home and equestrian estate for my wife and 2 daughters.
Regards.....Paul
