Cool - they look quite different to the ones I have seen in Brisbane SE Qld.

Well done on this milestone, you are a patient man indeed. All things come to he who waits.:-)

Cheers

I am glad we do not have robber flies here in the states! One, they are HUGE! Two they would rob me and empty my home!!
