Brett-

Yes, it's that Bryson book that provided me the necessary cushion to survive the culture shock of parachuting into Greater Oz. I remember his dire warnings about the GIANT BANANA, THE GIANT LOBSTER, and I'm sure there's now a GIANT SQUID as well.

Bob- I'd love to "borrow" an Anglo concertina in G/D configuration if you have one in your herd. I doubt if I could get mine through the security checks. Of course, if you do, it probably won't have the same note arrangement as my Bastari-30.

Love them wombats! I have fond members of napping out on the river bank below our friend's weekender a couple of years back, and watching them flit through the trees...:~)

Yes, Brett, this will be fun!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
