Stanley, known variously over the years as Snake Gully or Nine Mile Creek, is a small village located in a historic gold-mining area in Australia's south-east. It's primarily a nut and fruit growing area these days, but is home to a number of artists, artisans and - rumour has it - an odd assortment of eccentrics. I'm pleased to announce that, together with my partner Sandi, I'll soon be leaving the west behind and joining their ranks!

Along with this impending cross-country move, a significant downsizing will afford me the opportunity to build guitars in a more-or-less full-time capacity. What's more, with no pressing need to maximise output and profits, I can be totally self-indulgent and devote as much time as necessary to improving my guitar building skills, perhaps even diversifying a little into mandolin and ukelele construction. Most importantly, I'm looking forward to settling in a small community of like-minded people, and developing a more laid back approach to life in general, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The stars are brighter too!
Cheers
Pete
