Where will you be on Census night?

Hi RC.

Good Q. In our case somewhere along Googs Trk I hope. Leaving Perth Fri and going the scenic route to Broken Hill/Mildura/Bourke. Then to Alice via the Simmo. Then back to Perth in 5 weeks time, via the Sandy Blight and other remoter trks.

Where will you be?

Cheers.

Oh crikey - now we will have to hear all the retirees skiting about their travels! 15 years to go!

Where ever you might be, lets all make sure we fill in our religion details, New australians with a cetain ethnic background will make sure that they fill in theirs, as is there right

I'll have to do location as lat-long...and I have no idea where I'll be on census night. Our eight-year-old daughter might tell people that we are homeless, but our home has been a caravan since January 2010... I don't see how that will fit a census form.

Hi RedCerokee

All things being equal, we should be up at the Old Annandale Ruins, north of the QAA Line in the Simpson.



Cheers

Hi John,

The Cherokee will be in the garage on Census night, and I'll be in at work. I'll be watching the Census web servers and hoping they cope with the load. Some of us still have to work for a living, you know.

As I sit there I'll think of you guys and feel jealous. And promise myself to spend next Census somewhere as remote as I can possibly manage.

Where ever you may be on census night, do register on the census. You can complete the form on line at an earlier or later date if out of range on census night, or use forms available from road houses and the like.

Government policies are hard to cope with for those living on the road - they are geared to the fact that we all live in bricks and mortar unless we are drunks sleeping under a bridge.

Nomads - register your vote and make it clear you don't have a fixed home to return to if that is the case.

Sadly in bricks and mortar at census time not in some lovely remote location in our wheeled home away from home.

My wife works for Census. Each person counted is worth thousands of dollars of funding per annum to go towards the community, eg Police, Hospitals, Schools, etc, etc. make sure that you are counted. If you are not counted, it is your community that is missing out.

Census are making sure that they count everyone. Even the out of the way accessible by 4WD or boat areas are covered in my wife's patch. There are also special programs for the homeless and different ethnic groups to get them counted as well.

Census is making a big push for on-line this time around.

hi to all
well i'm amazed at how many of you in this thread have overlooked the fact that you have just told the world that your not going to be home on census night
so that all the lite fingered can now work out which houses are a likely target
most of you claim how securety minded you are
and then you blow it all in an instance
dear oh dear oh dear!!!!!!

We missed the 2006 census on account we were somewhere in the Great Sandy Desert

This year we may be somewhere up the coast north of Cooktown. Who knows? Wonder if someone will find us?...LOL
