This is strange.  I was watching a documentary on Australia last night and thinking of the fellows from there that post on TG.  I was wondering why you hadn't posted in some time and hoped all was well with you.  Obviously I need to get out more............but welcome back  

true lovers of traditional archey tackle always seem to find their way back home Al somehow somewhy we find it.We all missed you alot Al welcome back brother welcome back bd

Your absence didnt go unnoticed by me Al.  I always look forward to you your posts.  Glad you got back on that horse!
Good for you Sir.

 Welcome back, Al. Glad to read a new post from you.    

Welcome back Al, always enjoy your adventures and good luck on your new ones.

Can't wait to read some more of your stories sir!  

Al,

I had heard about your troubles and knew they had taken a toll on your life. You aren't the first to go through those experiences, but that doesn't remove the suffering just because others have suffered too.

While I was in Oz hunting with Mick and Andy, I talked with Andy about you, and we both expressed how much we wanted good things to come to you. If things had worked out differently, I would have loved to have figured out a way to see you while I was there. It is with great joy that I read how you are back in a good place in your life. My plans may include a return to Oz next year if my schedule allows. I would love to get together then if it works for both of us.

Enjoy your new situation, and suck all the life you can out of every day. You deserve the best, buddy.

Cheers,

Allan

Welcome back! Glad things are looking up again.

Hey, Al...

Glad you're back, buddy.

Now I know you didn't mean it to be funny- but I read what you said about your job- and it just tickled me so much...

You got off the roads of Iraq because it was dangerous, so you came back to Australia and got a job with an EXPLOSIVES company so you could sleep better at night!!!!!!

Now that's funny right there!!! I don't care who you are.
                         

I'm happy for you. Great to have you back!

Welcome back my friend! Mike

Looking forward to sharing your new adventures.

Welcome back Al..........

I wish I had know you were in Mackay, I was there all week. Glad things are going better for you

Welcome back and good luck on your new deal.  May you be blessed in new and great ways.

Good to see you back on line Al.  I look forward to reading some of your stories.

Married 12 years myself...... and  "BAM" it was over. Glad your doing well, couldnt be happier myself.

Welcome back Al.

I'm glad to have you back!

God bless,Mudd

Wow guys... reading this make a man more humble then I already am. I truely am glad to be back within the Trda Gang fold.

Bill; yes mate, the new girl in my life is a lover of the outdoors... lucky me huh!

Guru; yes mate, FB was shut down due to me just wanting my own space again.... and I don't miss it.

Allan; thanks for the kind thoughts. I will catch you next trip down under.

Yes Ray... I looked at that post too and thought the same thing...lol. This time around I plant the explosives, rather then Mr Insurgent!

Now... I see on the 3Rivers web site that they have some Chundoo shafts for sale. Can anyone tell me if these are the real deal Chundoos?

Cheers again to you all.
