G'day IJ (and others),
Mate, I was looked after quite well up there - was paid the award and always on time. Fair enough, the town was a sh1thole, but even that could have been worse from what I've heard! Hell, I could even afford a few beers when characters like you rolled into town!
I've gone soft anyway, teaching young punks how to fly back in the big smoke with about a 30% payrise. Progression onto twins poor but it was really a lifestyle decision in the end. The time to head bush and get back amongst it is drawing near, but for now I'm happy living back here and having a ball.
My advice...just marry a rich girl to take the pressure off! Thats my next project!
Cheers,
