Would be a great experience Ace. A good way to see some remote areas at someone else's expense.

If I were you I'd get one of those Toyotas. I hear they are the best thing for Aussie conditions. :roll: [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

But they're Japanese and in WW2 it was considered the Japanese were NOT best for Aussie conditions.

And I don't see how that's changed. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Stacey and i have decided to apply for teaching in remote areas, probably Northern WA, so the freelander idead has been scrapped and within the next 12 months i will be getting a fender to compliment the disco when we go, if i didnt have the loans to repay for the shop i would be on the phone now.

Geez Ace, you change your mind more often than I do 8)

We would like to move to the south coast but we are becoming more and more used to the fact that it would be unlikely to happen in the next 10yrs or so. So we were looking around for other options and i found a booklet on the table in the staff room about teaching in remote areas. The incentives are huge, all sorts of stuff from $12000 extra a year, food allowances, travel allowances, furniture storage allowances as the places you go are furnished, so they pay to store your furniture, if you fly up they transport your car. The list goes on. If we stay there for 4 years in the one spot we get 22weeks paid leave at the end of it so we can leave after 4yrs, take the paid leave (provided we want to leave) and travel around aus for a bit to get back home and then take up teaching in NSW again. Its not definite but we are seriously thinking about it. Matt[/b][/quote]

Ace, sounds like a good gig for a young family like yourselves. 22 weeks off after just 4 years - wow you don't get that anywhere (maybe only get that in jail).

What are you waiting for [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Matt,
What are you waiting for:

When I went to school there were 52 weeks in a year:

4 X term with 2 weeks holidays in between = 6 weeks
Xmas holidays = 6 weeks
Throw in the odd strike day = 1.5
Paid sick leave = 10 days
Do you have a union picnic day also =1 day
Excursions = 5 days a year perhaps
And all weekend and public holidays off

Total days actually at school= not too many

Then take the 22 weeks paid leave after 4 years

With 84RR's maths it all sounds very appealling until you remember that you aren't allowed to discipline the little sh!ts anymore. :roll:

Its a 4yr plan, 1- we want to wait until Marcos is a bit older, and 2 stacey has to go through UNI first.

We are planning to do a 3 week trip (yes quick but its all the time we can spare) up to the kimberley area of WA, which is were we would like to go, in 2008, July school hols, and do a loop to look at the schools up there cause we would like to see the area we will be spending 4yrs + of of lives in before we go. Does anyone want to come?

The holidays are quite as good as that, nearly all public holidays are in the school holidays so i dont get to take advantage of them. Normally the June long weekend is the only one we get, this year was the first time in the 3 years and then all the years i can remember before that that the easter long weekend wasnt in the hols, we mis october, xmas, new year and the janurary long weekend as they are all in the holidays, so you cant really count them. We do get good holidays, but i can tell you after 8 weeks of it this term i am looking forward to the hols. Still, i dont mind the holidays. :wink:
