Dear Editor,
I was delighted to find something new on the web about Harold Lasseter. Your article was a good read. You might care to visit my site at www.lasseteria.com and check out the Lasseter encyclopedia, LASSETERIA. There is a lot of new and unpublished material here and in due course may cause considerable controversy, in any event I would appreciate your comments.

Regards
Sullivan.
[Ed: It's a good looking site you have there, although it didn't come up in Netscape for us. Unfortunately I can't comment on the content as you ask for payment before we can view it. It's good to see the weekly example of what's on offer.]



I have just came across Simply Australia today. I am looking forward to more.

Thanks

Hello,
A friend forwarded me your web site and I have just had a browse of your latest issue. What a gem! I must pass it on to others. I would be delighted to receive emails telling me when new issues are on line.

Thanks

Hi all,
Congratulations for Simply Australia. I enjoyed the last edition, especially the bit about the Blue Mountains fire and Rob Willis' article about his visit to Texas Qld and the interviews he did there. I had to find out where our Texas was and why it was called that. Did you know?

"The McDougall Bros established a station in the area about 1840. They later had a bitter dispute with a claim jumper that they likened to a US border war, and so named their property Texas. The town developed in the mid 1880's"(Discover Australia Road Guide, Ron and Viv Moon.1998.)

Cheers
Brian



Dear Editor,
Congratulations on an interesting and attractive home page. The contributions are relevant and a good platform for Aussie literature. Keep up the good work.

From a lover of words and Australian content.

Looks like a nice site!! We'd certainly be grateful if you could point some Australian musicians and writers our way -- we'd love to have more of them represented at Rambles!

Hi,

I've just been through your site and think its great and would like to be put on you email list for when new e-zines come out, please.
Actually, I found your site while trying to track down a bit of information that you may be able to help point me in the right direction ... I'm trying to find out the origins of the word "ringer" as in the best shearer in shed. I'm on a sheep station in western NSW so should know this but, sadly, don't!! Any ideas?!! (am thinking 'run rings around" but have no proof!)

Glad I found your site, especially the yarns and songs section.
Thanks
Jillian.
