    The Hastings river there is a ship that goes out to Lord Howe with supplies just near Port Macquarie, as you drive over the Pacific hwy bridge you can see the docking area .

    ......and this'll be the reason he's following ME on the drive after the GG.
    There is only one road and I won't be the one stopping asking directions!

    Hey Gary, all is going well here, thanks mate. My youngest got her license not that long ago so that's another milestone ticked off for me... Still finding myself time poor though.... we're pretty short staffed at the moment, so most days off are met with a call/text asking if we can go in... that's what happens when you offer 15+% of your workforce an early retirement incentive :rolleyes:
    I've watched quite a few long time friends/colleagues leave over the past few months. It's been very much a 'changing of the guard' with so many new trainees coming in. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little envious... if they offer something similar in 10 years time, I'll be the first in the queue!!

    I read that you're calling it a day with CPA too! I'm wrapped for you mate. I'm sure it won't take too long to adjust to a 'normal' life ;) If you're at Coongarri in the third week of October, we should definitely try and catch up!

    Correct. Most NDB's in Australia were decommissioned a few years back.
