how close are any military installations near you, Mike? Googling military insignias I see an armored calvary unit in Townsville QLD, but that's quite a trek from where you're at... are there any closer? Reason I ask is in conjunction with what I'm think'n of show'n you that you can solicite to some units for a sideline income doing casting work. You game for it?

Well frank no pennies but I've picked up a few KG's of zinc runners from a manufacturer of boat annodes
