Hey Guys,
Finally got some time to read up on the postings. Since around 2005 when "Ziontree" and "bennysheehan" informed us of their Queensland residence I was wondering if any other australian climbers had joined the message board (such as myself)
I live in NSW about an hour from Sydney city in a little suburb, Galston.
One other Question, Do TCI have any conections to classes or such here?

Have you posted in the Tree World web site?
http://www.treeworld.info/
This is a new site operated by Eric Frey (Ekka) in NSW. The site is a great source of info and conections for all the professionals, amateurs, recreational climbers and even homeowners can ask questions there. The site is free to join and his information is timely, clean, friendly and very educational. Nice climbing and safety videos too! Great location for all climbers.

Thanks for the info. Seams like a good site.

Hi Aussie
re TCI stuff- in 06 I did all of Tengu's classes in Oregon. I am currently very close to facilitating guided climbs here in brisbane. Having delays with permission to use land.
Starting a site/blog for rec climbing is Aus its treeclimbers.com.au still under construction.
One of my aims is to have a climber finder type forum for aussie climbers.
I know of a few other qld rec climbers that dont post.
One work mate said "rec climbing? is that thing you do where you're not getting paid?"

Cheers

Ohhhh...dont EVEN tempt me with a 'road trip" like THAT!!!!

Becki (from Kansas!) ha!
