I got a new job

[Frostd]

Might have to tag along with you Yog's. Will be due for another big trip . Could be a Myswag trip???

[Symon]

I've got my registered cabler's ticket - need an apprentice?

[Matto]

Very nice Steve - impressive job description, and sounds like it will suit your lifestyle perfectly!

Should be an interesting job to top it all off. Sounds like you can make a real difference.

having to deal with IT staff and services up here. Got a feeling I will earn my dough..

It's "challenging", sometimes, in a regional location. Definitely different to being in a big metro region, anyway (both staff and services-wise)  .

Good luck!
Matto

Well if you need more staff I think there's plenty of willing volunteers here that are lining up behind me.....

I know how you feel. I was a Telstra tech based out of Derby a few years ago. late model datsun, engel fridge, chook pellets, throw net and fishing rod were all packed every Monday morning.

My mate was a helicopter pilot and we used the unused hours to go fishing. Enjoy your time up there I did.

While your on the subject of tax see it you can move to Fitsroy Xing the remote location allowance is higher

Be careful what you wish for Symon . You could get a job here tomorrow if you really want. The job I'm leaving and in fact the whole of Broome need licences cabers at the least. As your a sparky as well you would be snapped up in - Oh I dunno, a minute..And I'm serious....

Yea - Na.. Not going to live in Fitzroy mate. Spend enough time there already. prefere going for swims on Cble Beach rather than hanging out with the locals at the lodge

Symon, if there was ever a time, it is now. A good word from your friend Steve, might go a long way!!

Steve, Deb's eye's lit up when Yog's made a comment about the Kimberly in 2013.  We would be in, but saying that, we have a lot to deal with between now and then. We'll get to the Kimberly sometime.

We might have to discuss a possible travel arrangement over a few, cold ones and see what we come up with!!

[GU Rich]

I just noticed this thread Steve, Congrats on your new venture! I showed Mel your job description to she thought it sounded cool!

I think we need to come back up there  

Cheers

Just saw this thread too, well done to find a job that pays you to live the dream. Would be perfect if the wife & kids were allowed along for the drive. Umm.. on second thought, maybe just some of the drives 

Cheers

Ah, wash your mouth out brudder. Actually you should have seen the lodge this year under water, very cool.

I have seen that before it looks fantastic. We left Derby in 2001 with my wife 7 months pregnant. That wet season was a good one too. The year before we saw 205mm of rain in 1 hour when a tropical low passed to the north of Derby. I think it was new years eve. The water was 1 iinch from the tops of the gutter and it was flowing down my driveway like a storm water drain. The amaising thing was the next day it was hardly like it had been raining apart from a few puddles on the ground. I remember driving to Broome and the road having a foot of water over it which was continuous for about 3ks.

Wow, talk about the dream job.  Let me know if you want an ex-nurse with IT and management qualifications who has been doing healthcare systems implementations for the last 8 years (and who would really like to be living where you are) 

Seriously, congratulations.

You've now jioned the elite Myswags who have managed to incorporate job and love (sorry dear second love ) and get paid for it.
I myself finished IT for the State Gov in early 2009 and haven't looked back.
I now traverse most of the rivers and creeks from the Jardine (yes I walked across it just below the Monument and it took 25 mins ) to the Burdekin measuring how much water flows through them. The trips mostly last one week but accasionally extend to two weeks.
Yep the Gov has a Boating, Camping and Fishing Group  (fishing after work has finished ).
Being exIT perhaps we could job share...?
Good luck with it.

This could be an evil cunning plan
