Hi from Australia

**Troy** · 11th December 05, 01:48 PM

Hi Everybody,

Just thought I'd take the opportunity to introduce myself...

I live in Sydney, Australia and am waiting on the delivery of my first kilt - 16oz traditional in Cornish National. Hopefully it will arrive in time for its first outing on Australia Day (January 26).

My background is Cornish, Scottish & Irish (as well as English & a smattering of German) so I have a lot of interesting tartans etc. that are related to my heritage.

My interests include music, travel, history & genealogy, and I look forward to corresponding with you all.

Regards,

troy

Welcome aboard, Troy!

You're already ahead of me for kilts!

Welcome to the forum Troy, nice to see another Aussie here (there are far too many Americans ;);) )

You are among friends of the kilt here, and that's for sure.

Actually, there are more people from some American cities (or should I say Metro-areas) than your whole country!
Australia… That’s somewhere near Tasmania, right? ;-)

Yes, that's right - lots of people I know call it New Zealand's West Island ;-)

Troy,

Glad that you are here, so a big WELCOME from me. Hope that you enjoy yourself here, as I know I am enjoying myself. Also glad that you can keep our buddy Graham in line.

I know what you mean about the addiction - I haven't even received my first kilt yet and I'm already telling my wife about my 'next' kilt! (Irish Diaspora, if you're interested, followed by Clan Hume) :smile:
