What a great day for you two.

Where are you going first?

The first place we are going is to the pub when the boss gets home in about an hour :cheers:

We are going to head down south after Xmas for awhile and then hang around home and do short trips till the wet is over then slowly head north, spend some time on me mates cattle station out of Broome then from there we will start the lap, no time limit just see as much of this unreal country as we can for as long as we can.

hello , hello, congratulations, can't imagine how you guys are feeling this arvo.  But, we will know on thursday, cos thats when we finish.  Kev for good, me for a year or so and then just casual.  Kev ironed his last few shirts today, and packed up his uniforms to hand in, I think it has finally hit him.  See you guys out there somewhere, we will be the ones with the mirror image of your grins on our dials.  Kris and Kev :angel: :police:

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Cozzie, and soon to be retired Kris and Kev.

It will take some time to get used to, but it is a pretty good lifestyle. Travel when and where you want, no time frame, enjoy the country and each other.

Don't forget to keep active.

Welcome to the great life.

One year and twenty days (who's counting) and I still wake up and pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming.
