    Hey Stackers,

    Another n00b to the stacking game, I signed up a week or so ago and already met some friendly and very helpful people (Redback, Jislizard, 1for1, iceblue, maggie)

    Learning lots (spent a couple of hours reading one thread on the economy the other day) and got lots more to learn.

    Thanks for providing such a cool community and being so welcoming to newbies to the game you all love.

    Oh, and and Kia Ora (Hello) from another Kiwi in your fine land :)

    James

    Name check! Sweeeeet!

    Welcome aboard!

    Edit: Kia Ora was an fruit flavoured sugar drink popular when I was a kid, not with me though, just the rich kids who could afford to drink out of a cardboard box with an attached straw, true story!

    Hey James,

    Why the move to Australia? Work? Climate? Lifestyle? Family?

    Genuine question - I've been considering making the opposite move in recent times - NZ seems like a great place to be self sufficient on the land.

    Cheers

    Hey R0dman :)

    I came over for a change of scene for a while + the better money.

    NZ is definitely a good place to live off the land, the climate is less extreme, there's more water and good soil. Although remember it gets pretty cold in the winter and you can't grow much unless you are in the north of the north island.

    If you haven't been before I definitely recommend going for a holiday for a few weeks to tour the country and find your favorite spot.

    If SHTF I'm on the first flight home, if the planes are still flying that is ;-)

    If you have any other questions shoot me a PM :)
