Thread: Another Aussie/newbie/all round hunting rookie and annoying bastard

G'day blokes, how's it going? Name is Harry, I'm from Stanthorpe on the Qld/NSW border in the high country and am currently enjoying my last couple of days in your truly lovely country on my honeymoon.

I have to say both myself and my wife are having a bit of a hard time thinking of many reasons we should really continue living in Aus after being here! Other than the wage and my family in particular, we're pretty damned inclined to save as hard as we can and buy a house in cash here (we especially love Wanganui - beach, mountains, deer all round, a pretty town and very affordable housing!).

So I guess I won't really be able to contribute a great deal in regards to hunting topics from experience (as I've done very little of it so far unfortunately) but I'll be that one really annoying newbie who asks way too many questions I'd like to just gleen as much info about your country and many aspects of it (including hunting and shooting sports of course!) and in general participate in your banter

Been reading a fair few of your media threads to get an idea of how the media treats you guys here. Whilst there's many aspects of Oz I do like the vicious media treatment towards hunters/gun owners back home angers me to the point of wanting to just get out of the country completely (especially after this Adler shotgun fiasco... and next year it'll be the 20th anniversary since the PAM... that'll be fun, not).

Anyways, love the cooler weather here, the scenery, the hunting opportunities, your much more reasonably priced real estate, and just about everyone we've met has been very welcoming. So here's hoping one day we'll be living and raising a family here... now I'll shut up... that was a bloody long winded intro, my apologies!
