Australia? Land of the tinnie & barbie brigade I've heard
North or South coast? I've an aunt in Melbourne but she's pretty far gone with Alzheimers so it's impossible to really stay in touch. I've totally lost touch with my cousins which is a real shame in this day & age of Facebook, twitter et al.
I've also decided to attempt a comeback with Civ V. I never really got on with IV and just drifted back to my guitars as my main downtime activity.
I've some great memories of our SG attempts of old and it came as a bit of a shock that most of our early games are no longer on the board. I too have contacted Space and also AlanH but had forgotten NP. I'll have to look and see if he's still around.
Perhaps we could form a Seniors League (I think you must be about 50 now) and revisit old glories
