Love seeing the old ads.

I had no idea Akubra was that old, those are great old ads.

Akubra has been around in one form or another since 1886. Just, y'know, in case anyone's curious.

The sickness is real and I appear to be in its full grips. . .

I ordered my new Banjo Paterson from The Hattery back around black Friday, it still hasn't left Australia according to tracking. I ordered a Leisure Time as a gift for someone else from Everything Australian a day later and it arrived on Monday. Crazy how shipping times differ.

Sorry to hear that you've been waiting so long. Mine came to Japan in just 3 days from Everything Australian. Ordered on Dec 10th and arrived on Dec 13th to my door. One thing I usually do is call the store to make sure that they have the one I want in stock. I've also ordered from The Hattery and it took just about 5 days to reach me. Lucky, I guess.

I have had good luck with both sellers, I'm not complaining about the Hattery. Shipping has usually been quicker than expected this one has just been delayed slightly.

A while back I found a box set of the collected works of Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson. Have done enough reading to figure out that Henry Lawson wrote about the gritty details of a harsh outback life and Banjo Paterson was a bit more positive and poetic. Both are highly recommeded as a good read for Ausrailian and Akubra lovers.

Here today is my over 40 yr old Akubra Lawson. Hopefully today Ill have a box arrive with my new-to-me Banjo Paterson in Carbon...so tomorrow Ill snap a pic of it with the Banjo volume. Heck... I may have to gather up all the Akubras and do a family picture!

A new Traveller in Sand arrived last week, my first Akubra purchase since 2011, so figure it's a good time for my first post here in nearly as long. Took it on a trip to a rainy Amsterdam at the weekend and very happy with it. A welcome addition to my Akubra collection of two Stylemasters, two Banjo Patersons, Cattleman and Jackaroo.

Ordered a Squatter directly from Akubra December 10. Picked up by DHL on December 11 and hasn't moved since.
