Greatings! Great to hear from yet another local Amiga user. I am out in Gibbons, just North of you. I have several amigas as well(A1000/A500's).
My first A500 was purchased in 1986, is still running. I now surf the net with it when the kids are playing their games on the XP Box.
There is an Amiga Users Group here as well you could say hello to at
