About us and our Land

Hi there!
Welcome to Banjo's Backyard.

This site is here to allow a handy location for interaction with other radio operators.
It also has a logbook facility to leave short msgs in and a real time chat room just in case the propagation is poor! :)
In the links page you will find many radio related sites of interest, more will be added as they are found.

As well as Radio related content the site will be a source of information for people outside Australia to learn something about our country, that content will be general statistics and subjects of interest for prospective travellers.
 

We hope you enjoy our efforts, if you would like to drop us a comment on how improve this site,
you can mail me by clicking here -> Mark Paterson
 

Enjoy.......
