Thread: I have arrived

Welcome river rat!
Welcome to Oz, We look forward to hearing from you and seeing your work. What part of OZ will you be calling home from now on?

Welcome RR Nice to have you aboard and welcome to Australia.

Well done, RR. I feel safe in saying you will not be disappointed - we truely have 'a lucky country', and you are welcome. All you need do is learn new spelling and to say "g'dayMate,owyagoin".

soth

All you need do is learn new spelling and to say "g'dayMate,owyagoin".

...and not get killed driving on the wrong side of the road

Well, RR, when you and Ozzie get homesick, the US will welcome you back...and secretly I envy you the adventure of living in Oz land

Welcome aboard.

Next question what part of Oz are in? Then you can hook up with a few locals off the forum etc and get set up for when the lathe arrives.

Hmmm you might need a transformer for you lathe as well unless you plan to change the motor over to 240v

Welcome to Aus.. Brother in law finally got through the paper work thing. Just remember, is does end.

I'm sure you could find a lathe here to work on if the wait gets too long for the ship.

There's now a reissue of an essential guide to speaking and understanding Australian 'English':

Let Stalk Strine by Afferbeck Lauder.

Gedda copy kwik.

I am in New Bieth near Greenbank outside of Brisbane. at least that is what they tell me. The shipment should be here before christmas. I already have a 5kw transformer in the shipment i traded a dustcollector for it.

Welcome to the land of Oz RR.

Living in New Beith it would appear you are right on the door step of one of our members, John at Munruben.
