G'day Sam,

Yeah ... I reckon digger is more Australian ... but it's pretty well shared with you Kiwis - much the same lot grubbed for gold in both nation's rushes and went on to mine for more mundane metals. The Queenstown on Tasmania's west coast (lots of copper mining in its day) was named after New Zealand's Queenstown by miners coming back west

Anyway, just avoid those jars of sulphuric acid ... especially the ones the barman uses to clean the bar - you nevr know what they might have soaked up off the bar surface!

Regards,

Bob
