Welcome Warren - to the best internet based photography forum in the world. Ok ok..I may be biased but it's true. Can't wait to see some of your photographs, both of landscapes AND what you can cook - we might be down to visit sooner than you think :wink:

Hi Warren,

Welcome to the forum!

Will definitely drop in next time we're down that way, we're fairly regular visitors, and have had the odd meal in the Ventnor - no complaints yet! :lol: :lol:

Cheers

Hello Warren/assichef - welcome to the forum :)

I will certainly look you up if in Town. More than willing to sample some of your cooking (fish of the day :D ). If you are ever coming to Adelaide, please let me know in advance and we can meet somewhere, and perhaps organise some other members as well.

Rookie2 - I know that neither Fozzie or BigV would mind if you went along to their minimeet. BigV has Thursdays off (Fozzie may be having a slack attack or just a well deserved RDO :wink: ) that's why they are meeting then. PM one of them for the details.
