Dan,

How far are you from Bribane Australia? Things are shutting down here quickly. I might be headed that way.

    I think Perth is where the job is. Bechtel is the company. Not sure if oil, gas, or coal minerals.

    I work in a side of operations.

    i`m not sure what bechtel does, but over there it will be gas...that is about to boom like nothing else on earth,believe me on that, it`s going to be huge!

    other than that it could be diamonds, gold, iron ore and a few other minor things, but there`s work there. you will be able to apply for a gun licence if you shift therer, the loophole is to get a farmer or grazier to give you written poermission then you will be ok with getting the licence and guns. the hunting is ok there, you will get sick of shooting pigs real quick!

    They announced that my base is closing soon. I just put in for a lateral transfer that my manager recommended I do. Should be safe in that new position but to hedge my bets applied to Bechtel. If nothing else would be worth seeing what Bechtel is offering for pay. If it's up there, I might jump.

    Brisbane (Brisbin in 'Strain) is a pretty nice city from what we saw, one could do worse for a place to live. Don't know about Perth.

    You will become a beer conisseur in no time! The generic 'Fosters' is much better there than over here, also! Best, Joe

    Sidenote: Ref. the original Fosters..anybody know where/how I may buy imported beers that haven't been brewed for export? The same as the locals are served? I know wine is unaltered..how 'bout beer? Thanks, Joe

    I like Fosters but I can't drink as much of it. Don't know if it still is, but it used to be stronger then most beers.

    Have you tried the Polish beers? Zywiec & Okocim are both good and strong.

    Jeez, I never met an Aussie who drank Fosters. Think XXXX Gold, Boags and Cascade. Only yanks drink Fosters.
