I am advised my AAPT email address will be functional again within 10 working days.
Thanks Tim

Site Updates
All the "lakes" pages are now uploaded to the site sorry for leaving them blank for so long. Over the next few months I hope to fill in most of the other gaps on the site. I will start uploading the last of the "rivers & streams" pages in the next few days. Some of the existing pages require more detail, but I probably won't get around to updating these pages until the second half of 2010.
Australia Day Fishathon
On 26th January as part of Australia Day Celebrations. The International Regatta Centre at Penrith will host a Fishathon. The event is free and involves catch and release fishing with barbless hooks only. You can find more details by clicking on the links below.
