Title: G'day from Australia
Post by: jock_in_oz on September 10, 2007, 04:26:04 pm: Hi,newbie here,been reading this forum for quite some time,and thought I would say hello.

It's been a dream of mine to build and arcade machine for quite some time.My family and I emigrated from the UK to Australia a couple of months ago,and I now have a large garage to start knocking one together.I ordered all my controls the other day,so there is no going back now !!!

I was wondering if there is any aussie's using this forum ? We are currently at Taylors Lakes in Melbourne.

Post by: More Cowbell on September 10, 2007, 05:17:46 pm: Welcome aboard. For some reason there are lots of Americans, Canuckistanians, Brits, and Austrailians here. Not many Icelandians, Antarcticans, or Mexi-cans (as opposed to Mexi-can'ts).

Post by: Jetto Funk on September 11, 2007, 07:51:41 am: I used to be an Australian, that count?
Now I'm living in Florida as an Army Veteran, I'll probably make my way back there some day.
Last time I was in Australia I did see a Mame machine in someones garage as I casually passed their house. So I'm sure there are lots out there, just gotta find them.
