... yep we're off back to Brisbane and can't wait! Darwin hasn't really worked for us. The job (the reason we came here) has been great - good bunch of boys, some interesting work, some decent extra-curricular activities etc but Darwin ..... well the wet season should just be banned. Months of stinking heat and humidity is bad enough but everywhere closes down and you're miles (and miles and miles ...) from anywhere to get away from it. It's been better during the dry (beautiful weather for instance) but there's still not a great deal going on here, or anywhere nearby.

Anyhoo, I applied for a job in Toowong a couple of weeks ago, had a video phone interview (over Skype) last week and got the offer today! Start on October 1st so have now got a mad 2-3 weeks of packing and organising and a week's drive in the motorhome.

Woohoo!! Can't wait to get back home

Wendy

All the best to you both. What an adventure you've had

wmoore

Thanks Wend. It has been that. At least we can say we gave it a shot and tried something different. Having said that, it was a bloody expensive exercise but it's only money right?

Wendy

Aye. You can't take it with you. Make the most of life while you can I say.

och bugger and we are away all of September lol

wmoore

But you'll leave the key under the mat for us right? We should be by your way around the 22nd and would like to book a double-room with breakfast for the weekend

wmoore

And by the way, we can leave the rats in the van so no need to spend the weekend on the table top

Sam

Hey Wmoore

What an adventure you've both had, despite as you say costing you bucket loads of money

but i bet it feels good to be going back home

Good for you for having the courage and openmindedness to explore and discover some of Australia!

Ooooo.
Perhaps it's a Cornish-ism.
It's what the cows get when the weather is hot and humid and they've been got at by flies all day.
They get testy or stroppy.

wmoore

I can't say that I regret any of it. Learn from it and move on, that would be my motto if I could be bothered to have one


We loved our trip, even though we only got through about 1/3 of it. We have still got the motorhome though and there are plenty of places within reach in the south east.

But you're right, we're really looking forward to going home. When I accepted the job up here, we flew to Brisbane to sort our stuff out and as we were coming in to land, I got this overwhelming feeling of coming home. I should have taken notice of that really but never mind.
