Welcome, Alan! What brought you here? When I was in my teens, I really, really wanted to emmigrate to Australia. I even wrote a letter to the consulate when I was fourteen, asking about it. They sent back a nice letter telling me to contact them again in a few years! Having grown up in Alaska, I doubt that I could have handled the heat in much of Australia, anyway! Kathleen

Thankyou Kathleen, I have always enjoyed the isolation of the outback country and I think Alaska is simular to Australia EXCEPT for the climatic conditions. I believe a lot of Vietnam Veterans headed into the back country after discharge and after I was discharged I headed bush to some of the most isolated country in Australia. I have always had a big interest in surviving off the land where possible . I make stock saddles in my spare time and also make a little silver jewellery. The idea of spending time in Alaska is always in the back of my mind.(ONE DAY IT WILL HAPPEN) Al
