Thread: Hello From Tasmania Australia

If one is going to have a civil discussion, it seems like a good idea to know a little about the person in the discussion. After some weeks here I thought I'd say hello.-Ron in Tasmania

Hey Ron,

A friend of mine is looking for a genuine aboriginal didgeridoo. Do you know anything about how to buy one?

Brad

No idea, Brad but, if you google around you might have some luck. I'm finding google is good for more than I ever thought; for example, you might try the following site:

Didgeridoo Review - What You Need to Know to Choose a Good One

...Try this, Brad, and see what you come up with.-Ron in Tasmania

Hi Ron. Since you joined in August it looks like you've been lurking for a while. Lots of good information here, as you probably know. Hope you're shaving is going well, if you've started.

Shaving for 50 Years..........yes a long life of shaving. I tried an electric for a month or so about 40 years ago but got a burn on my neck so went back to the non-electric.-Ron

Welcome Ron,

Great to have another Aussie on the boards, particularly from somewhere as beautiful as Tasmania.

Looks to me as though your wealth of life experiences will be a much-valued and useful resource here. I look forward to reading your posts into the future.

James.

Thanks Jimbo....I'll drop in here occasionally in these middle years(65-75) of late adulthood(60-80) and old age(80++), if I last that long.-Ron
