Just putting this here for any new users who are from Sydney. We have a community TCP Gateway that hosted in Sydney

[[Sydney RNS]]
type = BackboneInterface
enabled = yes
remote = Sydney.reticulum.au
port = 4242


We also have a growing lora mesh, mostly based around the lower Blue Mountains and Western Sydney.

[[Sydney RNode Mesh]]
frequency = 925875000
bandwidth = 250000
spreadingfactor = 9
codingrate = 5

Anyone who wants to contact me can do so on <9699f98b4d0135f727ea11e2298a2857>

Thanks for running this relay, it helps bring down my latency significantly. Previously my closest relay was SE Asia.

FYI for anyone using the Sydney gateway, it has connections to:-

 BackboneInterface[Nomadnet_SEAsia/rns.jaykayenn.net:4242]
  
 BackboneInterface[Melbourne_RNS/mel.reticulum.net.nz:4242]
 
 BackboneInterface[Inkletblot_Australia_01/rns.inkletblot.com:4242] aka Adelaide
  
 BackboneInterface[Auckland_RNS/akl.reticulum.net.nz:4242]
  
 BackboneInterface[Bern_IPv4/45.59.114.96:7822]
   
 BackboneInterface[0rbit_Iceland/93.95.227.8:49952]

 BackboneInterface[ShadowLink_TSK_0/shadownode.teske.live:4242] aka Sao Paulo
  
 TCPInterface[Beleth RNS Hub/rns.beleth.net:4242]
  
 TCPInterface[SparkN0de/aspark.uber.space:44860]

 And I have two spots available for auto connect, because why not 🤷‍♀️

Hi ozCleric. It preety cool to see someone from Aus. I am actually in Perth. I am only just getting started with reticulum. But what I really want to do is set up a node that can help extend the range and coverage of the network. Is there any material I should start reading or watch. I am currently reading the manual but I know that I am gonna have to purchase a heltecv4 or v3 board thingy-ma-bob. Either way, any help is appreciated. Also, if this seems like it belong in another section then let me know. :) Either way, have a great day and any response is appreciated ;)

Thanks for the Sydney regional section here. I am ready to start deploying some standalone rNodes, after I get comfortable with my local private network testing.

Hi Waz. I'm in the Sydney area as well, in the Hornsby area. I've been playing with Reticulum for over a year now. What area are you in?
