What about the Newfies?

[Terry]

Hi again Bonza,

Back then the Newfoundlanders didn't take kindly to be thought of as Canadians! Even in 1949, when they joined Canada, many of them were not thrilled at the idea.

G'day Terry

THanks.

I came across a site that might be of interest to those involved with Australian, Canadian & New Zealand involvement on various fronts.

It is www.diggerhistory.info/

I have been trying to access www.diggerhistory/info for 2 days now (other times it was fine). I keep getting a message saying "bandwidth exceeded". Does anyone know what is wrong here?
