If you want to be 'Bound for Botany Bay', you could try stealing a loaf of bread...

Hi MerryBee. If you are in Sydney at any stage, I know Charlie would recommend a John and Jenny backyard barbeque in Earlwood. If it's windy, we might even put you to work hauling on the mainbraces ;-)

Otherwise, a number of us here are heavily involved in the Sydney folk scene. Sandra runs The Loaded Dog folk club, and I run North By Northwest Folk club.

Let us know your plans when you know them, and we guarantee to keep you busy. Just ask Charlie!

Jenny

Merry-

Thanks for the thanks!

I'm sure when you formulate more definite plans you will find Mudcat a useful resource for locating friendly contacts in Oz. We certainly were quite pleased with the advice and hospitality. We wish we were going back there this year but maybe we'll be able to do that in 2006.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Nobody forgets Queensland, Foolestroupe. In the U.S. all they talked about to us was crocodiles. Cheers, Joy

Merry-

You can have a whole lot of fun following up folk club leads from Mudcatters in Australia. We certainly did in our two recent trips. We also did some tourist things as well.

You might review our Oz Journal on our personal website, which is edited from a Mudcat thread of similar name: Australia Trip 2003

Note, you may have to cycle back to our home page to access this journal.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
