Howdy from King Island, Aus

Post #1 by BennoHughes » Tue May 31, 2022 10:17 am

Gday all,

I’m Benno, a liney on king island.
Have just bought a property and am in the process of getting my hands on an old Massey to poke around on.

Cheers for entrance to the group.

Welcome Benno.

I think you'll need to describe King Island and some of your restrictions for those in the wrong hemisphere!

I'll just give a bit of info.
King Island sits between Victoria and Tasmania about 100km off each coast.
It's exposed to the Southern Ocean storms which blow off Antarctica, so can be a little chilly.
If I'm correct, there is no passenger ferry, so flying is the only way to get on/off. Transporting vehicles is by freighter that runs once a week.
