Cool last day at work today- off to Taree, NSW.

Hi All, feeling very strange today, last day, but still doesn't seem real. Going to mid north coast, nsw on a rsms visa, fly on 20th April, vey excited but just to make things more complicated going to Morrocco on Thrusday for 10 days, competing in the marathon des sables or the death march as my beloved calls it. Fly back on the 17th and 2 and half days later...off we go.

We're all packed and at least I don't have lots of time to think about saying bye to family, its silly really, will be back in a year for my sisters wedding.

If anyone around that area, would be nice to know what you think of it. We've driven through and been to Forster, which I liked, but holidaying so different to living. I know Arkon hates it, but it can't be that bad...can it????

Cheers
Esher

When we lived in Port Macquarie, I worked with a guy from Taree. He slagged the place off - but then again, alot of people are cynical about their home towns.

Never went there, but as you must know the area is beautiful. Like Arkon, Mrs Lapthorn didn't like the feeling of being in the sticks, but I loved living in the region.

Can't comment on Taree through my own eyes, but Port Macquarie and surrounds would be where I would settle on the mid to north NSW coast. Nothing's forever, and if you're not happy there, look elsewhere.

Good luck.
