Seeing Who Is Here

by Mick Mayers

Aug 6, 2007

I am not an official AUS firie but I spent six weeks in QLD and NSW working with my brothers from down under on a job study through Rotary International. I had the chance to start in Coolangatta, go up through Brisbane, Boonah, Warwick, then down to Grafton, Iluka, Narang, and Surfer's, as well as a couple of days in Sydney before leaving. Just wanted to say, "G'day".

    G'day Mick. 

    The site has been rather quite. Perhaps I need to do a post about flow rates. That normally gets things happening:)
