effinqueue Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Hello my name is Martyn - just joined today. Live in the deep north of QLD in a little village called Kuranda just west of Cairns. Used to be a motor mechanic but now work in Cairns in a shop selling bearings, tools, car parts and hydraulic hoses among other things. I own a RA-Aus registered Pelican PL which was built a while back by a guy in Ayr and I'm hoping for one thing to hook up with other Pelican owners on here. Have been browsing the forums for a while so decided now's the time to log on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there Franco Just had a quick browse on your facebook page and your place there looks great what with all your lovely plants and flowers everywhere. Those drifters look like a lot of fun. I trained with Ron Watson in Innisfail and he pointed out your place once when we were on a nav to Gordonvale and the tablelands. Sorry bout the short message but getting late after a big day at work - I'll get back to you soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
