    Hello From Victoria, Australia

    Hey,
    Just wanted to say thank you for accepting me onto your forums. Coming from Victoria I was wondering whether the rest of the world would think we are all still in lock down😂
    Happy to say that phase has now passed and is in the rear view mirror.
    As soon as the weather improves….. might even get to do some shooting!
    Cheers,
    Marcus.

    Hi Zimmer, I am in Somerville just around the corner from Tyabb. The odd fox is right…. and a rabbit plague if you know the right property.

    Hi Ben, too right. On the Mornington Peninsula, we just got a bit wet. The poor buggers in other places got wiped out. There has been some carnage amongst the horse breeding properties as well unfortunately.

    Welcome aboard
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded

    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    As always, it's a small world. We lived on McKirdys Road (before the "tip" was opened.) Other wildlife memory is of millions of plovers.
    We used to have lunch on my days off in the Sommerville pub. Good sanctuary from the heat on hot days.

    Had clients on McKirdy’s Rd. and a few pub meals at the Sommie. Small world…. Hate to paint it though😂

    G'day mate, another Victorian here, I have been in NZ 7.5 years now though.

    I'm from Bendigo originally but spent a decent amount of time down your way.

    G’day Makka! Apologies, was away for a while and missed your post. How’s NZ treating you? Gotta be drier than Victoria at the moment.

    Bendigo! Was there earlier in the year and Melbourne. Old haunts of mine many years ago. The Mornington Peninsular is a nice part of the world. Your on the way to Philip Island, I watched the F1 bikes there in 1998 and Mr Mick Doohan win and do a helmet free victory lap.

    G'day my Mexican friend.
    I live North of Mildura but I'm happy to see another Aussie here.
