Well, it looks like We are about to exit our comfort zone and head to Mackay....got sick of waiting for the toads to get here so we will moove to them. Should be over there in about 6 weeks......will probably have to post not long after that to try to get the gos on the local area's secrets. A bit sad leaving KNX, a few things we would like to do before we leave, but it will be worth coming back as a tourist one day, the Kalumburu/long reef trip is already planned for the wet season 2010 with a mate who left for Cermont a few months back.
I may even be close enough for a gathering once over there!
Cheers Andrew

..nice place, ..but you'll have to work hard on your 'strine accent.
i.e how put a 'tinni - in - the - tilli'
or..
learn how to 'do a youi - at - the tukki' (Fried Chicken)
Great people, great place, only town in Oz where they still land 737s in the main street (
well sort of).
Good Luck.

Gday and thanks to all repliers. it will be interesting to maybe put a few names to faces in the future. I have met a few 'forumites' in
Kununurra, but it is amazing how many passed through town while I was at work. The new job has a little more conventional hours, a 9 day fortnight. I will miss the 2x2 roster,
well half of it anyway, but
home every weekend and public holiday will be a novelty. It will be an interesting comparison on roster work.
I used to support Queensland in the state of origin, mainly becaule I was a Victorian in NSW!
Cheers Andrew
