Going Australia - anyone up for a visit?
« on: April 13, 2016, 02:06:26 PM »
To my Oz Forum members,

I'm visiting Australia (Brisbane and Cairns) in early May so I'm hoping that I can visit some of you guys and see the wondrous stuff you guys are doing!

Looking forward to a positive response.

Thanks!


Regards,
Sam

I'm  an hour's drive north of Sydney if you find you find yourself down that way. More than welcome to drop in.

What a GREAT idea, and such gracious replies. OK I admit it the world doesn't totally suck.

Sam, your IP is showing you're in Trinidad. Do you live there, or just visiting?

Hey Dingaling, I have a son in Darwin, (Johnston) would love to drop in if I get back up there. You must be near Humpty Doo?

Yes we are out past Humpty Doo on the Hwy to Kakadu. Growing Black Sapotes, Sugar Apples, mangosteens and what ever else we can get our hands on. My bother has just started to grow Abui and sugar apples.

Let me know if I can help you out with anything from the east coast. A giant sugar apple I grew from seed sourced from Java fruited last year, excellent taste.

Early May? Around when exactly? And why just Brissy and Cairns?
Currently bouncing around somewhere else (work) but if all goes well would prob be back in QLD before mid-May.

Thanks for all the positive responses!

I think I'll PM all of you individually so we could try to link up.

In terms of my schedule, I'm arriving in Brisbane On April 25th but flying to New Zealand (Roturoa) for a few days, then to Sydney on April 30th, Cairns on May 2nd and back to Brisbane on May 7th and staying there for about 5 days or so.

Then back home.

Here's hoping I can visit all of you guys and do some other stuff as well!!

Thanks again!


Regards,
Sam
