Thread: Hello from Blackheath, NSW

  1. #1

    Hello from Blackheath, NSW

    Hello from the upper Blue Mountains, NSW. I have an RC-1 kit arriving tomorrow and an RC-4 kit on oder. I am very excited to see the work of others here and these extraordinary examples are filling my mind with ideas for my own builds. Thank you. :-)

    Welcome Newton and I'm looking forward to see your build diaries.

    Thank you for the kind words of welcome. I am currently pacing the house awaiting the Australia Post contractor delivery van and my first kit. It feels a bit like Christmas. I shall start a build diary just as soon as it arrives. Discovering this forum and the fact that kits actually exist has been a breath of fresh air. I am looking forward to an autumn/winter build of two great individual guitars.

    Fretwork,
    I am sorry, I do not know of the history of a slippery dip down at the pool. I have only been up here since 2008 and I have never been to the local swimming baths apart from two days ago which I drove to; to check for you, if a slippery dip still existed. (What a nice peaceful hidden area of Blackheath!!). I didn't see a slippery dip. Just the changing blocks and the swimming pools. :-)
