Hi,

I am planning to leave the UK and go to Australia at the end of October and i'd really like to gain more Blacksmithing experience while I'm there. I ahve been working alongside Blacksmiths in the UK for the last two years and have also taught some sessions. Does anyone know of any smiths that do paid apprenticeships in Auz or that may let me assist them in return for somewhere to stay?

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks

once you work out your route, let me know when brisbane pops up on your list.

O,k will do, thanks. Do you know of any other smiths that might let me pay a visit? I'm probably starting off in Sydney then to Melbourne and then who knows.

See if you can get hold of Dale he has a lot of contacts in Melb, if you head towards Newcastle way give us a yell, we may have something for you. To the south of Sydney Moonie may make you welcome, although he's a little hard to get on with sometimes.
Cheers
Phil
