So Long for Now, Talk to You in a Couple of Weeks

[Fishcop]

Well fellow boarders, I'm off to Townsville on Australia's Great Barrier Reef with a promotion at work. Huge move, about 900 miles north of where I live now in Surfers Paradise.

P-car is going up on a transporter on Thursday along with my boat, I won't see them for about a week The rest of the houshold goes on Wednesday aboard a semi.

We've decided to drive up in the boring Mazda towing a trailer full of my car bits, scuba gear and air compressors as the removalists won't transport flamible liquids or pressure vessels.

Anyway, I'll have to cope a few weeks without my daily dose of porsche and pelican. So my friends look after yourselves and be good to each other whilst I'm gone

Tough duty, John...but somebody has to live & work near one of the world's great natural wonders. Guess it may as well be you. Have a safe move.

[Saffs]

Congrats. on the promotion and hope the move goes OK.
Hear from you in a few weeks.

Have a safe trip John. Let us know how the 911 stands up to Townsville weather...

How many 911s are there in Townsville anyway!

I love Aussie-talk! The majority of my business is done with an Australian office and I love the language.
'REMOVALIST' - kinda sounds like a 'TERMINATOR' that sneaks into your house in the dead of night...to remove things!
Have a safe trip.

[Matt Smith]

Well rscupper, if you can understand aussie-speak nothing will ever phase you again. We New Zealanders have been trying to understand what the hell they've been talking about for at least the last hundred years
Take care Jon. Be sure to share some good stories about that wonderful marine paradise with us ok?
Hey- any jobs going handy up there??

How sad am I? I'm sitting on the floor with the computer the last thing I'll have packed! This way I may be able to touch base at least one or two times more...

Thanks to everyone for your kind wishes. Cam, I'm told there is a couple of 911's up there and a couple of boxters, word is that my car will stick right out amongst all those 4x4s

Matt if ever you are serious about work over here email me, I can certainly tell you who is advertising, or at least what web sites to check. I know the Northern Fisheries Research Centre seems to have regular positions pop up, but they may be "graduate" positions. But hey, compared to NZ dollars....

Oh boy is heat going to be an issue, it's 34oC today (about 95oF) and warmer again up north! But I guess most of you guys are preparing to store your cars.

Cheers

Good news John.

Just make sure the beers are very cold if you expect us kiwi's to come and visit you that far north.

See ya, Bill.

[Paul W]

Jeez Matt ease up!

Good luck with the move John.

Haven't forgotten the contact info you wanted on the carb's, just tring to get to it. I'll e-mail you soon.

I'm just kidding. I actually think that the NZers have the worst use of english on the planet if the truth be told.
John, I had entertained thoughts on work in Australia a few years back when I was footloose and mortgage free, but was told that it was harder to get science positions there than it is here (which is stupidly hard). What gives??

John,

Stop in Port Douglas on the way up and drink a couple of VB's
.

I was there 8 or 10 years ago and thought it was one of the greatest places on the planet.

Good Luck,
Jeb
