Australia tartan in Launceston

[Antipodean Celt]

Hi all,

Been a while since I posted last. Have been busy earning a living and similar banal activities.

We popped down to Tasmania for a conference, and although I hardly need an excuse, it seemed like a great opportunity to give the kilt an airing.

It was a fresh evening, and so the scarf was being used as intended, but as we came into dinner the temperature went up about 20 degrees. My lovely lady tucked it under my epaulette; I began to object it was a scarf and not a fly plaid, but then remembered the most important axiom "happy wife, happy life". And so the scarf stayed where she put it.

Interestingly, as we toured around the island state, we found a shop selling 'Tasmania' tartan. A quite attractive grey and red combination. I resisted the urge to buy, but not without difficulty.

All the best,

John

Thanks D.K. Aye Karumba! Been a few years since I was in Karumba, but a memorable visit. What takes you there?

I will be doing the usual Brisbane Dawn Service and marching with the uniformed RAN contingent. So a full day for the centenary. The kilt will have to stay in the cupboard for the day.

All the best,

john

Conference was a bunch of master mariners telling old and bold sea stories. So yes, fun was had by all!

I quite like the scarf.... and one is on order from the UK in the Munro Modern which will match my dress kilt.

Thanks Paul, certainly adds some more colour. I will look forward to your post with the picture of you with your Munro scarf.
