   I will attending a convention in Hobart, Tasmania in February 2004 then hopefully spending some time meeting some collegues throughout Australia for a week or two. Just wondering if any of the Australian members of this site would have time or interest for a visit? I'd realy like to get some pictures of an RB swap into a Z! :classic:Always interested in the Zs of others.
