Good work Merv,

Lots of recipes here from expert bush chefs. My personal tip - same recipes as at home, but spend longer cooking them.

Any specific info you need, or just checking in so we can help you on your way?

What I'm trying to say is - show us your toys in pictures!

All best,

T

Welcome aboard Merv.We look forward to sharing your experiences.

You'll get to hear from lot's of Vet's on here mate, including some from the Senior Service even :-) LOL

Reunions are a big part of our travels, we're off to Perth next june for a 45 year Navy reunion, from 1965, and a few of us will be caravaning over as a group, looking forward to that.

Nice rig there mate, see you on the road one day.

Fred.

Hi Merv, sounds like you have a plan. If you Google roti bread, you'll get all the recipes you can handle. Good luck with it all.

Good luck Merv
You should be able to test your Fishing Rod out while in Tassie both with the Trout Fishing in the Highlands (Lakes area) and From February onwards you have the Tuna Fishing of the East Coast especially ST Helens

Hi Terry,
You caught my eye with the tuna fishing after Feb. Just moved to tassie after being on the road 2 1/2 years. Would appreciate any advice on what bites when and where is good. I loved the salmon fishing down here last time but after cape york I'm missing the arm aching fish lol. Great fishing in Tassie and looking forward to it.
