Hi Richard, I came to oz years before settling here, and together with my brother and 2 friends, had a 4 month stint at Andamooka, South East of coober pedy, mining for opal, we didn't find much but what it did do was establish an itch which I haven't been able to satisfy in the years since. But, with a bit of luck this is the year....! Norm.

G'Day guys, By way of introduction, I'm an English Australian, having been settled in Australia, 42 years. Shortly after our arrival, I bought a series 2A 109 Land Rover, for our journey from Perth to Townsville , Queensland, where I still live. Im married with three children, now, all grown & flown. I still own the rover and presently am approaching the end of a massive rebuild, but because of the fact that I was establishing an electrical business and later serious health issues, the rebuild is now in its twentieth year.But now retired so this is year is to be the launch year..! I am an electrician ( retired) and enjoy prospecting, camping, hobby electronics, and ocean fishing. whilst my Rover isn't military, I have an intense interest in all things land Rover, there are lots of military ideas I can apply in getting my vehicle ready for an extended expedition into the deserts of South Australia, in search of Opals. Anyway guys, I guess I'll get to know you all in the fullness of time. Norm.
