Hey crazycanuck-
I lived in Tassie for two years then Perth for 6 months (do you know Bliss- she is another Canada gurl in Perth who loves her bikes). After Perth we moved to Melbourne and up to Bendigo then down to Rye. Spent 5 years in Aus. My husband is from Perth so the next time we're there I'll look you up for a ride on the Munda bindi.
And to chickwhorips- I'm in Anchorage but am from Homer.
