so who wants to come over ?

If Geraldine Doyle is still performing, it could be worthwhile.

I missed the opportunity for R&R in Austrailia while I was in Vietnam. I regret not taking the opportunity, but I knew what I had to come back to.

I was near Alice Springs, once. December, I think. There were these damn little flies that swarmed all over people during daylight. Not sure what they were called. "Cattle files", maybe..

Sydney was nice.

I flew out from California to participate in a computer system installation.

It was a long time ago.

One port call in Perth for 4 days on a mini pump in the Marines..
On day 2 met a girl who had me this close to jumping ship.. Just saying, 4 of the happiest days of my life..

who the F$%^& is Geraldine Doyle ?

..Mini pump ?? never heard that before ??

She is an Irish Comedienne, who lives in Australia or she did back in the 90s. She is actually pretty good.

How much does it cost there for a little piece of Nothing?

i would defiantly come back. i was in Darwin for a week and a half and didnt get to do much.

by the way the map forgot to put the flies in there over at least the darwin area

you can get over 100 acres for under $100k

Do you have to work there or is there nothing to do?

Neither have I. I am guessing a smaller refueling vessel.

My brother was offered a job, and a few acres in Australia when he was in his late teens. His travel there was even supposed to be paid. The catch was that he was supposed to become a citizen of Australia, and that kept him away.

I was tied to my insane Ex Wife at the time and should have went.

I hear they found Ned Kelley's remains.

Ive been to broome in WA. Crazy place for a NY'er. Very short visit and nothing but seclusion, sharks and met a huntsman spider! Yikes!

Harmless but scary as heck.
