#16162 G'day!

Posted by outbackpengeek on 15 July 2012 - 06:22 AM in Say Hello!

Well G'day right back at you ;)

Where in Outback Australia are you?
I am currently living in Tasmania, but have lived and worked from Adelaide to Darwin - including Coober Pedy, Marla Bore - and from Broken Hill to Eucla.
Have seen about 75% of mainland Australia and thought Tasmania would be nice as hadn't seen in. Came here in Dec 2002 and still here... but having said that, I feel a yearning to go back to Coober Pedy for a visit, need to get my Darwin fix [having lived there 3 times], and Kimberly country beckons also.

Welcome :)


Thanks :) I'm in Alice Springs. I've also lived in Darwin, and a couple of places in between. I've seen most of the mainland, but I've never been to Tasmania. I would very much like to bring my bike down though and see it! I stay in Coober Pedy overnight on the way to Adelaide...it's still just as surreal as I'm sure you remember it :)



#16139 G'day!

G'day everyone! I'm from outback Australia, and having a ball since discovering fountain pens by way of my mechanical watch obsession (actually, it seems to be a re-discovery, as holding a cartridge brought back memories from primary school, so I guess I must be old enough to have used a fountain pen back then). I've resurrected my cursive writing as well, which has gone unused for 30 years, which I've really been enjoying. So far I've accumulated;

Vintage: Parker 51 Aerometric, Parker Vacumatic, Montblanc 22, Pilot Murex, Sheaffer PFM V.
Modern: Pilot Vanishing Point, Pilot M90, Lamy Safari (x2), Lamy Dialog 3, Lamy 2000

cheers!
