[QUOTE=Des Taff Jenkins;207143]Hi Des.
Welcome to the site. Looks like you must have shipped out on every Iron boat, I have a mate that I haven't seen for a few years lives up the central coast who sailed on them, Don Jenkins, I think he was down below. I lived in Mt Riverview for 20 years, been down in Cooma for five.
I sailed with the Union Co out of NZ for about ten years; knew quite a few blokes on the Aussie coast.
Hope you enjoy your stay on site.
Cheers Des

Hi Des,

Kath & I are hoping to attend BHP fleet reunion end October to catch up with people I haven't seen in years
cheers
