Hi Perry, thanks for joining our diverse group of people here at Theosophy.net.  It's been a while since I've been to Perth, but as with all the Australian coastal cities, the friendliness with which visitors are welcomed to your country is a unique experience of pleasure that lasts a lifetime, and the memories endure and remain the most colorful; I hope you too can experience that refreshing welcomeness here at this special part of the world - Theosophy.net.  There have been so many notable theosophists, even new traditions that have come out of Australia, so you will likely run into familiar insights throughout the Theosophy.net forums, but like I had the pleasure of doing "down under", you have to do a bit of exploring.  We don't talk funny here, just a lot - so please say what comes naturally when you've a mind to when you make new friends here and  here their many perspectives on all forms of theosophy in general, .... we have few customs here, but a lot of "traditions.". We hope you enjoy your many stops at points of interest on Theosophy.net, having you as our guest is our distinct pleasure.
