It took a few days but I have finally made it.

A thumbnail of myself:
Born 1941.
Joined the Australian Airforce in 1959, Armanent Mechanic.
A couple of years as a Survey Assistant in central Western Australia in late 60's..
Married, and still am.
1970, Moved to Papua New Guinea. 2 years with government and 7 years fishing (tuna)
Back to Oz.
21 years as a Queensland Marine Master/Engineer.
Retired 2001 due to injury.
Bought a small home in the bush in inland Queensland and enjoy doing very little.
Coins (of course), my wife, my dog (Gizmo), some chickens and a vegie patch.. There's a few rabbits, deer and some ducks in the area, I'm never bored.
Collect mainly Oz decimal coins  Also tend to hide pre-decimals,  PNG, Fiji, US State quarters and anything shiney or dull that I can get my hands on.
Also trying to complete an Oz Type Set  from 1910 to present date.(expensive)

Life gets tejus', dont it.

G'day, ;)
It wern't much of a party at the end of the queque so I thought I would put myself back up at the front. :(
It will probably cost me a round of drinks but who cares. :) :)

Your stay in New Guinea must have been interesting.  I understand that's about the wildest place on earth!!

You're a good man, Bob.

I'm happy you continue to be a part of KOTCT.
