The Quest of the Quaich

**Downunder Kilt** · 6th May 11, 09:28 PM

The start of all the happy toasters. Most of the toating was done with Glenmorangie but I believe the odd Talisker was slipped into the Quaich

More of the happy toasters

Those are a bunch of happy toasters. The Quaich is certainly doing well on its Quest so far!

It would be hard NOT to be happy with a quaich full of Talisker! Good show, Mike.

Excellent show Mike. Nice one. Presumably the Quaich will be commencing the next leg fluent in "Strine"

Excellent photos of a well dressed, happy bunch having a very enjoyable evening. The quaich is well on it's way bringing friends, and new found friends, together around the world.

Steve (The Wizard of BC) asked if the Quaich would be going to Banjo Paterson Country.

A.B. Paterson, a prolific writer of stories, poems and a song or two about the Australian bush

Thank you for that Downunderkilt,

As a youngster I was introduced first to the works of Robert Service known as"The Bard of the Yukon". Later I read my first by A.B. "Banjo" Patterson, "The Bard of the Outback".

Many of our members will know Banjo as the author of "Waltzing Matilda" and "The Man from Snowy River".

Both Service and Patterson were sons of Scottish immigrants. Both wrote (rather romanticized) tales of hard men living in harsh climates.

Paterson was second only to Rudyard Kipling in popularity in his lifetime.

If you don't mind I would like to print a copy of our Quaich at the Banjo Patterson Park and hang it in my shop.

Be my guest Steve. Pleasure to be of some small service.

I am completely thrilled to see it here, SO well done to you all, this is so exciting.

I will do my best to honour it's place here in possibly the southernmost part of the world it will visit (unless there are kilted men in Antarctica)
when it departs I will post photos.
