    Left Mogadishu with the prospect of a job back in Tarin Kowt, and it is still there. Have also been busy as, applying for a wide range of training, HS&E, and contract management roles here in Australia and am currently short-listed for two in a different state.

    Then....out of the blue last Saturday, I received a phone call from a bloke who is one of the Directors of this company (Alpha Group operates in East Africa and specializes in Marine and Logistics services) with the proposal that I come and be a Country Manager for them. Had dealt with them in Mogadishu. They have offices and do business from Mombasa, Mogadishu, Dar es Salaam, Seychelles, Mauritius, Uganda, & Dubai.

    Full time employment (after a 6mth probation period) with good money, a house, a car, medical etc....zip tax...AND....me MISSUS is coming with me!!

    Forgot to mention............... the country of which I am to be their Country Manager is................Mozambique!

    Praying and hoping that this can be the job of my lifetime. They/I will be chasing the oil & gas industry and the business that the likes of Rio Tinto & CVRD (Vale) are have just started doing in Mozambique. Mozambique has anthracite coal with estimated reserves possibly larger than the Bowen Basin...and, it has hardly been touched yet, along with gold, diamonds, platinum and mineral sands.

    Supposed to be departing before the end of March.

    I had absolutely no idea that this was coming.

    Congrats!
    I certinally hope it all works out for you and your family!
    Keep us posted mate

    BHP Billiton is also there for Aluminium, and SASOL is busy with gas refining.

    Let us know when you're there: I'm coming up that way for some R&R in June/July.

    Thanks Digger, JakesLouw, Rick130, DiscoMick & IsuzuRover for your thoughts and support.

    My camera travels with me everywhere.

    JakesLouw, will look forward to catching up Jun-Jul. Good mate of mine has just purchased a place about 40km out of Nelspruit, and I have another good mate who will eventually get back to his place in Mbabane, Swaziland....along with them, you, & other long-standing mates in Maputo...it is going to be social. 'Um 2M depois o outro!!!' Which translates roughly into 'One beer after another!!!'
    Be known for what you did. Not, for what you bought.

    No mate, I could not say that I have been on there recently.

    Cheers, BBC,

    The few pictures I've seen of the Mozambique coastline looks just incredible.
    I know very little about the country though, I'm really looking forward to your posts.
    Congrats on the job BBC, how lovely to have your family with you!

    The Moz coastline is mostly untouched. The Southern portions have become holiday venues for South Africans and other overseas tourists.

    But there are huge stretches where sweet b-all can be seen.
