Hey 71, Thanks for the words of Encouragement!!!
We'll try to work on this forum a while and see if we can't get her back to something worth viewing.
I'd also like to see some tips/tricks/info/photos and questions from your folks.
Here is one I'd like answered.
When I was there in the Leonora/Perth area last year, I saw many kangaroos and wondered if you folks eat them like we do a deer here in the United States?

G'day Gerry,
There is a substantial industry in Australia based on kangaroo meat. A low proportion of it is sold in this country with the vast majority exported to Europe and notably Germany.
The roos are shot at night by licenced pros and taken to a chiller nearby.
There is a quota system in place whereby roo numbers and an annual cull figure are determined for each State. Tags are issued to shooters and each animal brought to market must have one attached.
The meat is one of the healthiest available. It is very low in fat and what is present is unsaturated.
I have eaten it many times and can recommmend it highly.
There is also a market for feral pigs which are handled in a similar fashion to the roos without the quotas and tags. Pigs are an introduced pest here and pose a significant threat to livestock and crops along with being a potential reservoir for TB, Foot and Mouth and other nasties we dont have here.
Again the meat goes mainly to Europe who have a taste for wild game meats.
