Cool anybody from perth, sydney, brisbane in here?

hey there, i was just wondering if there were any perth locals in here that are rotorheads? i'm heading your way next month and thought i could meet some of the local rx nuts.

i will probably be shooting over to sydney or brisbane as well, let me know if your live there and can show me some cool stuff.

later, mark

hey bumpstart, do you ever hang out in perth? i was looking into some skydiving places and i remember one of those places being about an hour south of perth. i should be landing on the 21st or 22nd, if you want to hook up and have a beer or something let me know.

later, mark

methinks your referring to Pinjarra ,, about 80 km SE of perth
[ directly east of mandurah ]
else skydiving is usually at York,, 90 km east of perth

pinjarra is about 25 mins SE of rockingham
( rockingham is coastal 60 km directly south of perth )

as for me,, no i dont spend all that much time in the main city ,, its a little too far for me to travel and socialize
( i have spinal disease that makes such travelling then socializing after that distance very uncomfortable )

however if your doing the touristy thing you may well find rockingham/ mandurah on the itenery if you select beachy activities
( dolphin , penguin, whale and fishing tours start heres and rocko is also a very popular international windsurfing mecca also with lessons daily from safety bay )
surfing in the area also starts to take off come end of march ,, waiting the autumn swells
rockingham has world class beaches

if that is on the cards then i am possibly avail during the days mentioned for socializing/ gas-bagging
( i am not all that much of a drinker nowdays either , but do make exceptions )

if your in perth proper then drop ( was:12a ) [ cam] a PM as he is more local there and usually a pretty good and helpful sort

i will PM you my contact number for you if you end up passing through
i can give you the low downs on whats good to see within reasonable distance
[[ things are very far apart in WA,, and you thought you had things big in texas ]]
