Thread: I'm leaving

Well kids, the time has come

As a few know, our game plan is to travel around Aus doing some work here and there, with some exploring on the way and seeing our gorgeous country, hopefully, finding somewhere we can eventually settle down at, (a few acres).
We were supposed to leave last July, be in Townsville to attend a wedding in August, and then head off from there to "who knows where" after the wedding.
As happens in life, plans change or get changed/upset and we have to try again. (somehow this has been happening since I was first meant to leave at the ripe old age of 45,, I'm now 56 ) So, due to these changes, we went looking for some extra work to do on weekends, build up the coin, and generally sort a few things out so we can have another bash at leaving around Easter-ish, 2019.

So, as I stood there packing stuff the other weekend, making some good coin I might add, someone happened to read my resume, and I then received a call asking to have an interview,,, Ultimately, they made me an offer I really couldn't refuse
So, back in a management roll I go, and our trip we start. My work week is actually the weekend, so good money.
We're cheating a bit, dont need the van as we've rented a small house next door to the factory we'll be working at, which we always knew would be on the cards, and as its basically a year long contract (sort of,, a bit complicated to explain here), a house is the best bet.

We'll be based in the small town of Tangambalanga (Vic) in the beautiful Kiewa Valley, and looking forward to catching up with a few people in the area we know already, and hopefully meet some we don't know. Some of you may wish to pass through the area, there's plenty to see, and the Hume Weir has many camping spots,, so let us know if your coming through.


Just a quick thank you to all who have made us feel welcomed here in Melbourne, we've had some great times, and made good friends whom we hope to keep in touch with even during our travels. Face Book will certainly help with communication ,

Now for the move. I finish my current job next Thursday,,, start my new job Friday morning,, and attempting to move house through the weeks following,,, anyone got a large trailer they can lend me?
