Greetings From Australia

Post by oz_scout »

Hi there,

My name is Rick from the REDBACK SQUAD, Queensland Australia. I just thought I'd say hello to you all and have a look around the forum while I'm here. :)

Hello Rick!

Isn't the redback a relation to our own black widow?

Enjoy the forums!

Hey thanks for the welcome. :)

Yep, they're very closely related. The only way to really tell is they have a slightly different red pattern on their abdomen... that's it.

Nice to see you here. I have met a few of the Australian troopers over the years. Always great to meet a new one!

Pass along a hello to the rest of the troops.

Hope you have a good time. How long are you here? If you have time, and are near by, wouldn't mind meeting up to say HI.

Enjoy your time here :)

LOL, I wish I was there. I was in LA for C-IV, It was a pity I didn't get to stay a bit longer, you've got a great country I would've loved to see more of it. :)

Thanks for the warm welcome, and btw, in Brisbane, we call shrimp "prawns"...to us a "shrimp" is someone of very small stature LOL. I'd prefer to throw a nice big juicy steak on the barbie any day :wink:
