What coin shows/fairs are worth a look??

[JeffH]

you are out in the sticks!!

I have been to Canberra several times -even was there once on Christmas Day and it snowed -really, I have the photos to prove it (if I could find them -Fulvio syndrome I believe that is called).
We came here in 1982, for a job, intending to stay, maybe, four or five years -most likely our next move will just be to a small plot on the outskirts of town.

The Numismatic Society of South Australia is running a coin, banknote, and collectable fair in Adelaide on the first weekend in December.  It'll be the biggest coin event in the city since the ANDA fair here several years ago.  A number of interstate dealers are coming and will have multiple tables.  Admissions is free!  Read more here.

I have been OS twice this year so can't afford a trip to Adelaide now. I have been there once, for a work conference, and was most impressed with the city. On the Sunday before the conference I spent about 5 hours just walking around -most of the other participants who had already arrived were propping up the bar.
I intend to return and a numismatic event sounds like a good excuse (but later).

awww
yes we came to canberra for 'short term' just needed the work as the hubby lost his job in NQ
we fell in love with the winter weather and the lifestyle here
the sons also love living here

3 hours to sydney 8 hours to melbourne
good spot
and we have been lucky with continuous work for the past 17 years

we went through Dubbo when myself and the boys came down here
the hubby was working on the quarantine & importation of the white rhino at the time so it was nice to see the famous white rhino at the zoo (and the Parkes satellite dish) - i see you are near Dubbo

the heat wave made me freak out and think what the hell am i moving down this way for?
i was trying to get away from NQLD heat!!
guess it's Australia and the heat is everywhere in summertime

can't afford a trip to Adelaide now.

Yeah, but Mark's offering us all his backyard to pitch tents in, isn't he? So very hospitable, those South Australians... :angel:

Macquarie Island is technically Australia... not too many heatwaves there...

In short, I believe any show that one can get too is a good show to get too.

and what's wrong with that RG?? you got something against people from the bush :blink: :mocking:

hey AJ
i vowed many years ago that I would only live in a town that is big enough for a Kmart

I was over only having the visiting RFDS and getting friends to bring back stores from the big smoke when they did trips

i like my luxuries now - electricity, running water, close medical facilities and the Royal Australian Mint (even though the latter keeps me poor)

[ausjack]

Gee that's so nice of you Mark :friends:

We have Kmart, just have to drive 260km return trip but it's no big deal as I had to do that to see my GP when I was on compo because it's so hard to see them here and most of the time it's a six week wait or longer and workcover want their forms every four weeks or they stop your payments and canberra is just way to cold for me now being temperature sensitive There are good and bad things about everywhere :good:

[JeffH]

i like my luxuries now

How about top shelf wines? Mudgee abounds with them.

[Fulvio]

Mudgee abounds with them.

I always thought a Mudgee was a small bird who downed too many fermented grapes and faceplanted in a mudhole. :angel:
