I get out of the city every chance that I get!!, a few more years and I am selling up buying a property in the bush. I have actually visited Canada back in 1995, a friend from Olympia Washington took me to the Rendezvous at Old Fort William in Thunder Bay, we camped outside the fort for a week, had a great time!!Well, Thank you to have straightened thing out for me. Lol!It's like Montreal. There is a Montréal in France, another less than ana hour drive from where I live, still another IIRC in the US and I believe at least another one but I can't remember where. Australia is one country I'd LOVE to visit some day. But mostly for its country side, National Parks etc for I'm not a city boy.

Welcome @Swagman from another Sydneysider.
Welcome from a Pom living in France! Beaucoup des Aussies ce semain!
Welcome from PA!
Welcome from AB !
Welcome. Glad to have you here.
Tossing up between SI for chamois or NI for sika. It’s a matter of finding Swiss 2 and 4F so I don’t need to resight in.
I think there’s a little more to it now but no big deal still getting a gun over.
G'day to you too, mate! It's fantastic to hear that you've been enjoying muzzle-loading for such a long time. Forty years of experience is no joke! 
And it's always exciting when you catch the "black powder cartridge bug" and start exploring new territories like the 44/40 and 45/70.
We're thrilled to have you as a member of this group and can't wait to learn from your experience and see what experiments you're up to!

I used to live at Hill End and am probably responsible for the shoots starting up there on the rifle range as I was a member of the Hill End Rifle Club,[Military] I remember organising the first m/l shoot which was held on the flat near the Post Office.
I was also a foundation member of The Colonial Muzzle Loading Club, the forerunner of the SCMLC.
But we were probably in different times.
Cheers!

A bit before my time, I joined the SCMLC in 1986. Many good times were had at Hill End over Easter, myself and another chap started up the Winter Muster at Hill End over the June long weekend, hoping to ressurect this agin soon.
