If it hasn't left Australia yet Tony or Michael send it to New Zealand, PM me.

Michael must be away from the forum at the moment.  Give it a couple of days and then I'll forward it across the pond.

Don't get in a hurry to get the flag on it's was back to the US/UK .

Like I said in an earlier post, after the flag returns to the US from Europe, it probably won't be doing too much traveling .

Well, I popped the flag in the post today, so it should be winging its way over the ditch to Tunnelrider in NZ very soon.

The flag arrived in New Zealand after a bit of a delay in the postal system.  We thought it may be lost but all is well. 

For some reason I cannot post a photo but flags are okay ...

I think MsBuck will do that when the flag gets returned to her when it's travelling is done .

She made the flag a few years ago .

Yep, I'll be glad to make a photo and post it up when it finally settles in back home. I'll keep it in a safe place for further traveling if the need ever arises.

This has been really fun watching it travel across the world!  ;D 8-)

Ahh yes don't worry the flag is in NZ, I'm wanting to get it on a pole and take it for a photo ride!  And see if any one else will sign it here.  I'll send it on soon... Motu are u out there?
