Australia Hunting contacts Wanted (Adelaide area)
      #109743 - 15/07/08 02:47 AM

Hi Guys

Wondered if anyone could extend a hand of friendship to a close and great friend of mine from the UK about to start a new life down under, he finally leaves the UK with his family on 20th July 08 initially to settle in Adelaide where his wife's family are largely based.

He is a great guy, a keen game shooter and has even had his gun dog (Springer spaniel) shipped out to Aus where she is presently in quarantine. He will have to leave his guns here due to laws in Australia but I am sure he will at some point re-establish himself once he has settled in.

He has recently retired from the British Army after 23 years with the Royal Artillery , laterly as a Sergeant Major. Any one getting to know him cannot fail to like him, a real great all round guy (and a rugby fan to boot!)

I guess it will be some weeks before he has e-mail set up in Adelaide, I think they plan to rent a property for a short while until they find their feet at which point Craig will either try and get work (since leaving the army he has trained as a plumber) or even try for the Police with whom he has already made contact and apparently eligible to join once he is in residence.

It would be great if anyone would be willing to drop him a line when he is settled in and possibly extend a hunters hand of friendship. If so please drop me a pm or join this thread so I can pass details on, army service including 2 tours of duty in Iraq has meant he has been away for large periods of time so to date he has not been a member of this forum but I guess we can change all that!!

Thanks guys in advance.

Regards

Jonathan

Thank you, I knew someone would be able to help.

As soon as I hear from him that he is settled in and back in contact I will forward his new e-mail details, a great guy and a big loss to us in England but a a gain for you guys. Pretty clued up on big bores also (105 and 155mm!!!) I guess he will by now be reunited with his beloved Spaniel gundog and ready to go.

Thanks again.

PM me as well.

Fellow POM.

Can also point him in the direction of some hunters and fellow Poms in Adelaide and some clubs to check out - if he is into Deer Hunting.

I like the Irony. You post about a Pom coming to Australia
and meeting people and you get 2 Responses, one from German Heritage and another POM !!!

Ah not since 1838. All Australians not being Aboriginal came from somewhere in the last couple of hundred years plus or minus.

John & 500

I guess that is what is good about this forum, no matter where in the world you are you have friends all over the world. I have met only a few of the forumites who post on NE regularly but at one time or another have received helpfrom many others to many questions posed or info sought and kept in touch with like mided individuals and even if i am not hunting all that often at present it is good to be able to share in and read of others experiences, I envy my friend's move down under and look forward to being able to come over and stay once he is established, maybe even meet up with some of you guys, I have my mind set one day a trip up to the Northern Territories but neither his wife nor mine have rumbled that one yet!!!

Thanks again

jonathan
