Welcome to Trewalla.

For  32 years  creating and growing Bellsouth, I was pretty immersed in everything chooks, from the home backyard to the commercial operators, and vaccine makers. I sold Bellsouth in 2012 because I had some pretty serious health problems.  I survived but after 8 years watching and supporting from the sidelines, I have decided its time to be active again.

I have written a number of books over the years, plus a stack of technical bulletins, and  over the 40 years collected a lot of books and publications. I have started to sell my poultry books, and  information, new and old, ( and maybe I will  buy some more too).  I do some bookbinding as a hobby, make special editions handbound, and I still dabble in some parts of the poultry industry. I look forward to  expanding this site as I am able, and I hope my interests are also a little interesting to you too.

About the masthead.

Long ago, my wife's mother grew up in the wilds of northern Tasmania, in an area known as Trewalla. The actual name of the area is Trawalla but we have since found the Aboriginal pronunciation is more like Truwella.  The name was made into the house name, and a plaque made from hammered copper many many years ago. When the family migrated to Victoria back before WW2, the sign came to, and adorned the farm of one of the brothers. When he passed away, the farm was sold and the sign came to Merle. She moved into a granny flat in our yard in the 90's.   When Bellsouth was sold, we changed the company name to Trewalla out of  respect for Merle. The masthead  is that sign, which still adorns the house, tough Trewalla the company has now passed itself into history.
