First Timer From Australia

Post by mikeyofoz » Wed Jun 18, 2014 1:29 am

Hi there

Coming for the first time from Australia. Totally think I am in over my head but trying to do this anyways. Plowing through the First Timer's Guide and all related reading. Sure that even if everything goes wrong will still make for a fun story

Don't worry it's meant to feel like that ;)

You will be fine... Do try and connect with others coming from Australia, teamwork and sharing works wonders. Water and Shade are your friends, everything else you will figure out, but lot's of water and shade...

Make sure y'all have joined the Regional groups. It's great to get advice or team up with locals. :D

The Australian Regional, Burning Seed, is actually not on the Regionals page. The facebook group is here and is probably the best way to get in touch with people.
