There have been a number of Aussie LUGGERs over the years. We had the
majority in Victoria at one stage at least, but a couple have drifted off
and one at least is now winning photography prizes from his base in NT.
Marty is in Adelaide, and I'm in Ballarat. I joined the LUG sometime
around 1997/8 I think

Cheers
