Hi from Australia

[Turtle]

Hi everybody,

This is a brand new interest for me and I know so little, I can’t even ask an intelligent question.

I’m enjoying looking through this forum and can see that it’s a treasure trove.  Many thanks to the providers of this resource.

I’m in Tasmania but I also lived in Western Australia for a long while.

I’m off to a good start.  So far, working on the watch I was given as a teenager, I’ve wrecked the escape wheel, lost a click spring, and trashed the screw on (I think) the crown wheel.  But I have managed to get my cuckoo clock going again :).
