    Anyone on here got any links or contacts in Australia?

    I'm trying to trace some great Australian people I met on the Coast to Coast Walk in June 2015. All I've got are photos - I only ever heard their Christian names and I've forgotten those anyway. I've put some photos on Facebook and made them public, but perhaps someone on here has more contacts, Facebook or otherwise?

    Please PM if you think you can help, cheers.

    I once went to Australia. The first thing I did when I got there was go to OMalley's bar in Sydney. The first person I met was a guy who knew Stainborough CC and my brother. He was called Bunkers, or something. He was English though, not Australian. I think I did meet some AUstralians when I was out there. I can't remember their names now, but I might take a leaf out of your book and so a random search on Facebook.

    It's only a tiny country, so they shouldn't be difficult to find. I suspect they would already have responded by now, but they're probably asleep...

    I once overheard a conversation between an American tourist and a lady who lived in Oxford. When the tourist found out where the other lady lived, she asked her if she knew "Joanne". I presume she did.

    The women are probably called Sheila, at a guess. They probably drink Castlemaine XXXX. Mel Gibson went to the same school.

    Should narrow it down for you.

    I think one of them may have overdone it on the Sherry once. She was probably called Kylie. I think she lives in The Bush.
