AboutIan Smith Expertise Very good knowledge of N.S.W. from beach to bush to Broken Hill. Have also travelled in a lot in Victoria, Queensland (to Townsville), Tasmania, South Australia and a few weeks in southern W.A. Used to be Hunter Valley Tourist Officer. Contact me for sights to see, not which disco or pub to recommend.
Have also spent months in Europe, particularly the following: Italy, Germany, Spain, England, Scotland, Belgium, Holland, Austria and Czech Republic.
I am a retiree and have a Winnebago Motorhome which I plan to use over the next few years (and have done some trips already).
Experience I have surfed, raced motorcycles, ordinary cycles and a bit of fishing through much of the area as well as working there selling 5 days a week. I also have many photographs which I am currently working at putting on the computer. I have an extensive catalogue of where I've travelled at virtualtourist.com under "iandsmith".

Question QUESTION: Just wondering if you would be up for taking a Canadian fishing around shoal bay and maybe going for pies and lamingtons afterwards?
Paul
ANSWER: You haven't said when.
Shortly I'm heading off to Italy so your timing might be bad. Let me know.
Also, fishing at Shoal Bay isn't really worthwhile. You need to go elsewhere to throw a line in.
Anyhow, I'll wait till you reply re the dates.
Cheers, Ian

QUESTION: Hello Ian!
Is this the Ian Smith from Newcastle that took a couple of canadians fishing back in 2000?
It's Paul from Vancouver.I tried emailing you a long while ago, but your old email address was no longer active if this is the same Ian Smith My email Address is
Answer It is indeed. I too was wondering how you were going.
Your email address didn't come up but mine is iandsmith then 69 then @ then hotmail.com
I split it up because that usually allows it to get through.
Now, I'm off to Italy next week but do keep in touch.
I may come to Canada next year.
Also, when I saw the query it did cross my mind that it might be you.
I've also got heaps of pages on virtualtourist.com under iandsmith.
Anyhow, I'm not on my computer at the moment and have to go.
Cheers, Ian
