Hello All ...

Some images of instruments and some of the locals from later part of this year. Ukes seem to be taking over.

Looks to be a great day there Peter. All those ukes should make a trip to Cairns next July.

[Peter Young]

Thanks Alan

.... will see if John is going over. They are mostly his anyway. Maybe "you all" should wander back over here. Augusta had a fire so it is easier to see where you are going now.

This image of a mandolin from Maurice missed the initial post

Yep, we call it "beer" .

Gawd that mandolin looks beautiful.

I second Allens comment, that mandolin looks amazing, any chance of a front shot?

Bawdy.

From my view, the most striking thing is having the group interaction and feedback in person that this group has.

Something I definitely envy in my inexperienced isolation

[Peter Young]

Thanks for all your comments. We are indeed very lucky.
