I was born on that beautiful island at the bottom of Australia.
Do you know where I am talking about? Separated from the mainland by Bass Strait? Still no idea?
Tasmania is my birth place.
The island is Australia’s largest, at 26,000 sq ml and has 2,906 mountains.
Go visit if you want to see natural beauty.
I currently live in Perth, Western Australia which is 37 times the size of Tasmania.
I love nature and spending time in the bush. Love sleeping under the stars.
It seems with every passing year my love of the Aussie Bush just grows and grows.
I can spend hours alone in Nature, not even wanting to go back to civilisation.
I am a loner at heart, only truly at peace in the bush with the Kangaroos and Snakes.
Enjoy expressing myself through words.
1000 piece jigsaw puzzles help to pass those quite hours as do crosswords.
I really enjoy amateur wildlife photography.
I take an interest in Politics and quite often write to Politicians to express my disapproval of policies that malign the disadvantaged.
I have an Empathy for those abused as children as well as the down trodden

Oh, I see. Van Dieman’s Land was used as a penal colony by the Brits for their norty citizens. Are you a descendent by any chance 
LOL!
Hmmm, Furries do abound, maybe our paths have crossed here in the ethereal WWW. Hmmm

There is a high possibility one of my forebears was a convict.
Our ancestral home is County Roscommon, Ireland.
Hi Brett nice to meet you, i have distant rellies in Tazzie… the Trotters…
i too love the outdoors but dont manage many adventures nowadays
i used to fish and play golf [both at the same time when i had a bad day on the golf course…lol]
i always fancied Austrailia i know several family members got sent there…lol… and a lot more spent a tenner and migrated, they all stayed… i only migrated south like the birds do and live in Yorkshire for the summer but get on the plane come October, and winter in Goa, India… nice to hear from you
Thank you for your greeting.
Tasmania is beautiful though rather cold in the winter.
I was born on the West Coast and there it averages 300 days a year of rain. 2.4 metres, almost 8 ’
the 8’ made me smile, i visited India as soon as i was allowed to [after covid] last april in fact…mmmm …monsoon… it was awesome, but i will try not to see it again, but everything was amazing…
when i normally vist its winter here, and there,
their winter is wonderful, around xmas, its about 30c during the day, but its quite cool at night, we are still in short sleeves but see Indians with ear muffs on, you feel it yourself when riding a scooter, your lugs feel it first…
Welcome to our forum Brett, although I have already written to you on here, have only just noticed this message. We do have quite a few Australians on this forum.
Hope you enjoy it on here.
Thank you Susie. I am enjoying my time here thus far.
Noticing a number of Aussies.
Oh yeah cobber, fair dinkum; we’ve our fair share of those with dunny budgie experience, especially after they’ve tied a few on mate and even the occasional sandgroper such as your good self 
Strewth mate, we’re a weird mob. 
Nah, not weird but good for a laugh, especially when I’m a tad glum. I used to be a member of an Aussie forum but fell foul of it’s rock prawn of a moderator for my langauge …no sense of humour some people and he certainly wasn’t the full quid
