Greetings from the Yarra Valley (Victoria, Australia)

Hi there
I'm a Canadian who has been living in Australia since 1997. Mostly interested in noise/punk/garage/surf music but I have a wide range of tastes. I live in a rural area but not far to Melbourne (1hr 20minutes to the downtown core). Moved out here within the last year, and will be setting up a jam space/studio slowly in the big barn-like shed.
I should've joined this forum earlier--been on TGP a few years under the name Bender (I have a few Chandlers, which are for some reason a sentimental interest, but I love playing them, and well at least 2 of them are offsets . . . .). Just picked up a 2021 Fender Ultra Jazzmaster (yes, aware of the criticisms of pickups, but these can be changed if I hate 'em, and it plays like a dream).
Been playing guitar poorly since 1990, and took up drumming 2 years ago and while still a beginner (but drumming in a punk band, which has at least a low bar of entry), it's done wonders for my guitar playing.
Looking forward to learning from you all.
Some of my gear below (I think 10 of my guitars could be classified as offsets). I have not listed my pedal collection as I haven't looked at many of them for ages, but my two faves are my DBA Fuzz War, Malekko Charlie Foxtrot, and my Catalinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe.
