Happy with responses to my questions while making decision about purchase. Order was placed mid December. I guess Christmas/NY got in the way but it was teh second half of January, after we returned from some time on the mainland for a family wedding, before we caught up with our purchase. The courier chosen to deliver the order does not deliver to our address, outside of the city of Launceston, and although we had provided an alternate address to that courier, when parcel hadn't arrived prior to our Jan 7 departure, it was eventually sourced at the couriers depot after we returned on Jan 21. That trip was a partial camping trip and we would have had the opportunity to trial our new poles, but as we didn't haven't htem we haven't done that yet.
