Just to let everyone know, Hammered at Moonys is on again this October 29th 30th and 31st at Moonys place in Braidwood (Southern Highlands) NSW Australia. Beer food forging hammers (7cwt Massey and others) camping, a really good weekend. Yes we do welcome international visitors. If you can get to NSW Australia we will do our best to get you the rest of the way. Any questions I can be contacted on [EMAIL=forgemasters@optusnet.com.au]forgemasters@optusnet.com.au[/EMAIL].

I looked up where Braidwood Australia is because my Austarlian geography is not that good . Just for fun I asked for directions from here. It gave me directions by car and KAYAK, 56 days 5 hours through Hawaii and Japan. Guess I had better leave tomorrow so I can have a couple days rest before the hammer in.

Yeh guys
Braidwood is hard enough for us to find and we live in Oz, just a little place, east of Canberra. It's 2 claims to fame are that Moony lives there, and it was the town featured in a movie called "The year my voice broke".

Tried to talk my wife into going. She sez we can't afford it, Ok, so how about if I just go?
Yeah...that went over big. After 31 married yrs, gee, I'm really surprised...:smug:

I love smithing road trips. You miss one and it's kind of like a good clam tide...you can't make it up. Unfortunately, she-who-writes-the-checks has a hard time reconciling those trips.
