LOL I was sort of thinking the exact same thing

Youkoso~! Nice to see another Aussie around.

Wow. That is really cool. Glad to meet you.

Again, thanks for the welcoming note. I will drop in occasionally in these years of my late adulthood(60 to 80) and old age(80++), if I last that long.-Ron

Sounds nice! Retirement life in Tasmania. I envy you.

Some 10 years ago, I had visited Tasmania. Beautiful place but I could not find out convenience store. Are there any conveninece store today?

Google "Tasmania"

If you Google "Tasmania" you will see an endless list of all sorts of stuff in Tasmania from convenience stores, to shopping centers, to government buildings, to Tasmanian tigers.--I wish you well, Astroboy.--Ron
