I happy to find a group that makes and shares a great hobby and hopefully I can get mine built to equal the quality of the ones I've seen on here, I will be doing a Aus Murray River style boat and and also a couple of the plans in the download area look like very good starter builds
Cheers Bob

Hi PD's ...& welcome Bob 

For an OZ paddler, a good place to start could be Float a Boat plans from Victoria...

Their plans are I suggest excellent quality in detail , however still require some model building knowledge & skills to produce a good hull

Spend some time looking at our volumes of archives here on PD's , and any questions...just ask..... Derek

I agree with Derek,  Bob Adrian and Rhonda at Float a Boat in Ringwood Vic are easy to deal with their web site has a plans catalogue  and a kits list just ask  and they'll reply not open Mondays I believe

A welcome from my self and the rest of the Admin.  team.
A google search had you  attached to a performance in Ballarat I'm in Wendouree.
