In the early years of our ownership of the Victorian Chemical Company, we would encourage ourselves reciitng our motto “We are happy little rabbits digging six feet underground looking for broonze with streaks of silver — for when you find gold the vultures gather.” Out of our research work we did find gold — well as good as gold. The environmentally-sound product is produced from the reaction of a vegetable oil with an alcohol. It’s success lies in its ability to aid the farmer by improving the weed-killing efficacy of the herbicdes being used. And yes, the vultures did gather!
Sales in agriculture now represents over 80% of our business. Our current web site may be found in Victorian Chemical Company.
There is also the right chemistry between Judy and me. We have had the right rapport and attraction for the last fifty-seven years and happily go round as The Punch and Judy Travelling Show.
We have been blessed that for our forty-six years living in Melbourne we have been attending a vibrant church community where we could express our thankfulness to God for all His goodness to us. The web site is at Syndal Baptist Church.
I have also been fortunate to have had the right chemistry for running a business. I could say I was in my element (pun definitely intended).
