Is the turmeric tea available in Australia? If so, I'd appreciate a location. Rgds, Adrian

Good story Bill. Keep up the good work. Sorry to point out the obvious, but half a dozen yards would not be 6 meters - let me see - gas meter, power meter, water meter.... I know the USA rebels against going metric, even tho the U.S. Senate passed the metric bill a great many years ago, but most if not all English-speaking countries have converted to metric, and this includes most of the Pacific region as well. There was great controversy here in Australia when our currency changed from pounds-shillings-pence-halfpennies, but it was eventually agreed to use the name of our first currency which happened to be Spanish Daldars, which also happened to be pronounced dollars $$.!! Changing to metric measurements was dead easy, and as I worked in a medical school laboratory, I'd been working in metric for a few years. On the subject of languages, have you noticed that any English word spelled with a "U" in it causes problems? e.g. "QUEUE", (US= line) "HE WROTE OUT A CHEQUE" (Check). For some reason, the word 'tick' gets changed to 'check'. All the best, Bill, keep up the good work. Goodnight, Adrian

An intriguing start. Keep at in mijneer Kees!

At least he asked for some protection, and I almost needed a different type of protection, when I asked our department's new secretary from the USA, if she had a rubber! Well, she was quite shocked and told me so. After things quietened down a bit, I explained that in Australia, a rubber was used to erase pencilled errors.

Nice to read such an interesting story, and bringing back memories of Tassie. I never got to Flinders Is, but did see King Island, also in the Bass Strait. Flinders is famous for its Mutton birds, so maybe the lads will have a change in the menu. Keep up the good work!

Your story is off to an interesting start, and I look forward to following it. I had a few years in Indonesia, teaching English, and learning the local language as best I could. On a recent holiday in Bali, I amazed myself that I still remembered so much. Keep up your interesting writing.

A well-written story, can't wait for the next chapter. Well done fellow sandgroper!!

A little bit of proof-reading might avoid the inevitable typos.

Hi. Sounds interesting. Reading about Kings Park etc makes me a bit longing for home, but I'll get back there eventually. Looking forward to the adventures of Kye.

I agree with all the comments above. For those who have no idea what Tasmania can offer, have a look at this clip. https://www.discovertasmania.com.au/ Roll on book 2....

In response to BoyLove, yes, Australia is a rather interesting place, it's the same size as the USA, and you can see everything from snow-covered mountains in the South to hot, dry desert in the centre. One the way into Fremantle, you would pass Rottnest Island, with 100s of quokkas hopping around, ready to share your picnic lunch.

It's a good yarn, and I'm enjoying catching up with Quokka's stories. You're making me homesick fellow-sandgroper!! I agree with most of the comments here; those lads would be getting off very lightly if they're not given some sort of discipline. Good on yer cobber!! "Dugite"

Don't keep us in suspense cobber. I'll bet they're moving drugs. Thanks for a good story. Dugite.

Just back from a bit of overseas work and nice to be catching up with Gay Authors. Not sure how you "unsure " anything, but I get the drift. "Dugite"

A great story cobber! Keep up the good writing. I hope to be over at Rotto before too long, and say hello to the quokkas! Sandgroper.
