g'day "H" , I am a complete newbie and I too come from a land down under . I live on the sunshine coast in qld and I have looked at Packers in Narangba because they are close to home and I need to start somewhere , are they good people to deal with ? I am going to need tools and leather and......lots of help. I am an old fart and this is a hobbie I hope to take into retirement . we just came home from a trip down the west coast , from broome to perth and it was sensational , its nice to find a site with nice people . im loving all the passion and good info . cheers crawf.
