I'm Back!







After a well earned summer break in Victoria I'm back into it.
I am currently sitting on Thursday Island about to install a small system to monitor a remote radio system in the middle of the Torres straight.
This place is amazing. The trees are bright green, the water blue, tropical rain forest around every corner and a smile from everyone walking down the street but they could be just laughing at my plated goatee.

I will heading to Moa Island on Thursday or Friday by Helicopter to actually perform the installation and tomorrow will be spent creating a mock up of the monitoring system so the guys know what they are doing.

I'm in Heaven here but you cant swim, The Jardine river mouth is only a few kilometers away and the harbour here at TI is full of BIG salty's. Those Red and Whites eyes reflecting the Pubs lighting is a real worry.
The Pub looks feral but the drinks are VERY cold and the local seafood is great. King prawns on the steak with dinner are a winner. I was expecting to pay a fortune as per a normal remote area but was very surprised.
Definitely a great out of the way Holiday spot.

Gold, silver or chrome to match the dome?
