Speaking as a "babe in the woods" in terms of wooden boat building it is very gratifying for me to realise there are quite a few other Aussies on this list. Merely by following this thread I have picked up info. that could potentially save time and money when I commit to the building process. I currently am pouring over Nick's book and am hoping to start a project soon (probably a Great Auk).

I currently live in Melbourne but am moving to Hervey Bay Qld. at the end of the year. I have just returned from two weeks holiday in HB and have decided I would like to enter into a love affair with boats :-)

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi !!!!
