Re:Australian Newbie here 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
G'day Craig,

A warm from the tropical north in Mackay. You've come to the right place here mate, plenty of good people with a lot of knowledge and experience. Hope you get lots of good use out of that R*.

I'm sitting in Brisbane airport at the moment enroute home tonight. Take care mate and look forward to hearing some more from you.

BTW...you know the old saying mate...the best thing about Brisbane is the Bruce highway leading north
