I love Australia

[TossA]

G'day everyone,

I'm Ross 36 years old from the U.K. and I'm a boilermaker by trade .
I came over around 6 years ago and never looked back Australia is simply better than England apart from cricket it seems

After a recent trip to Canberra to visit Gibraltar falls I stopped at a river down stream on the way home and bumped into a guy called James searching for gold . This gave me the inspiration to start searching as I'm always heading towards water, so why not have a look for some gold whilst I'm in there ...

I've only ever looked for fossils back in U.K. so I have a lot to learn. But I'll be heading to Adelong tomorrow to do some detecting as I'm based in Wagga Wagga just down the road .

Thanks for reading

Ross

It all started back in England playing a football ( soccer :N: ) based game ... and then became my online name as a teenager playing Xbox TossA 1664

Plus if you work with me it's not long before I'll slip a condom on your hammer shaft or grease your vice handle so it's normal for me to frequently here " you bloody TossA "

I'll defiantly be looking to hunt with anyone as I love meeting new people

All I found at Adelong was a very nice police officer and a leech which attached itself to be big toe

Thanks I'll take all the luck I can get :Y:

Most who come through customs in the Oz are asked if they have a criminal conviction. Many (mostly Yanks and Poms) respond that they "I didn't realise that you still needed a criminal conviction to come to Oz". Hope you had one. My ancestors had one.
