Thread: Where are you logging in from (not your home town)

Sydney, as I head home after being sent down under for an all too short work trip from the States. Managed to meet up with a few Aulro'ers while here this week, including Bearman in Mackay and Glenn in Geelong. Thank you all for the time, memories, and continuing friendships.20241207_145048.jpg20241207_120257.jpg20241207_150125.jpeg20241214_103436.jpg20241214_084340.jpeg

In major cities in the States there is a saying - that the city is an hour from the city.

I don't think there is anything quite like this in Australia - on the I-10 inbound at 0800, eight lanes, plus two high occupancy vehicle lanes plus four lanes in the service road - in each direction! All moving bumper to bumper at about 25mph.

After the 'Big Wet'!

Denmark for the next week and a bit. A bit cooler than Perth!

I've heard it can get warm in Perth, never actually experienced it myself. One time I flew from Port Hedland in shirt sleeves to arrive on the Perth tarmac, bucketing down rain, blowing a gale and 15⁰. It was a long, unpleasant walk to the terminal.

Reminds me of the scene at Melbourne airport when a service started that I think had one stop between Port Moresby and Melbourne. And the previous year, when I was in Moresby, looking at the passengers arriving from Melbourne (or even in Sydney) in winter, arriving dressed for the weather where they left a few hours earlier.
