Subject: Diary of a "New" Queenslander

31 August
Just got transferred with work into our new home in Calliope. Now this is a city that knows how to live! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings - what a place. I watched the sunset from a deck chair on the verandah. It was so beautiful. I've finally found my home. I just love it here.

13 September
Really heating up. Got to 35 today. Not a problem, though. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun every day like this. I'm turning into a real sun worshipper.

30 September
Had the backyard landscaped with tropical plants today. Lots of palms and rocks, so it’s a breeze to maintain. No more mowing lawns for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

10 October
The temperature hasn't been below 30 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least today it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat and humidity is taking longer that I expected.

15 October
Fell asleep by the pool. Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body and had to miss 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though - got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.

20 October
I missed Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car for lunch, Kitty had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stank up the $3,000 leather upholstery. I told the kids that she ran away. The car now smells like Wiskettes and cat bleep . I learned my lesson though - no more pets in this heat.

25 October
The wind sucks. It feels like a giant bloody blow dryer! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the blink and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive over and tell me he needed to order parts.


30 October
Been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now. Bloody $450,000 house and we can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here?

4 November
It's 35 degrees. Finally got the ol' air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 25, but this bloody humidity makes the house feel like it's about 30. Stupid repairman. I hate this stupid place.

8 November
If another wise arse cracks, "Hot enough for you today?" I'm going to strangle him. Bloody heat. By the time I get to work the car's radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!

9 November
Tried to run some messages after work. Wore shorts, and sat on the black leather seats in the ol' car. I thought my arse was on fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and my arse. Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried arse, and baked cat.

10 November
The weather report might as well be a bloody recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do anything for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this damn place? Water rationing will be next, so my $2,000 worth of palms just might dry up and blow into the bloody pool. Even the palms can't live in this heat.

14 November
Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 38 today. Now the air-conditioner's gone in my car. The repairman came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you today?" My wife had to spend the $2,500 house payment to bail my arse out of jail for assaulting the repairman. Bloody Calliope. What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here?

1 December
WHAT? This is the first day of Summer? Ya kiddin’ me!

Congratulations on your new job.
It was great meeting you at the Pyrenees weekend and hope to catch up with you another day.

Congratulations Kev.

Our friends from Boyne Island are coming down on Sunday for a few weeks. Send me a MM if you want any local info.

Adrian

Congratulations Kev, all your perseverance has paid off eh?
Well done.
Hope all goes well for you, and see you at Innaminka.

Dave

Congratulations on the new job Kev....all the best to you and your family mate

Cheers.......Dave

Is the Calliope council being amalgamated with neighbouring councils like a lot of other places in Qld. The Qld. goverment really is hellbent on stuffing up this state. Anyway best of luck with your new job.
Jon

G'day Kev, just as well you are coming South to see us folks as none will want to go to Calliope after George's tale above.

Congratulations on the new job offers, but particularly the one you accepted. It will be quite something after the previous one, though I think you needed split rims on your 100 series just to maintain the right feeling mate;-))

Look forward to catching up again soon.

Kev,
Glad to see that you are finally making the move.

Much warmer here than the Blue Mountains / Lithgow.

Getting used to it though.
Calliope is alot more humid than Springsure.

Regards
Dave

Good onya Kev. That puts you just up the road.
Best wishes with both the move and new surrounds.
Jeff.
