Ok it seems I had better take some time and come out from under the rock I've been hiding under and say hi to everyone back in SA. I have been watching and lurking behind the scenes for maybe a little too long.
Well I've been back in OZ for nearly three months and to be honest it's taking a lot longer to settle back in and adapt than I would have hoped. It seems once youve a had a taste of SA it becomes a hard thing to shake off. Work is keeping me very busy and sees me travelling a lot and spending an average of 3 days a week stuck on mine sites all over the North West of Western Australia, the mining industry is certainly booming here yet again. I seem to be doing a lot of flying, unfortunately it's all with damn Qantas, however I guess all the frequent flyer points will come in handy when I next get to come visit.
I haven't flown a gyro since leaving SA, I did contemplate giving the sport away entirely and find something else to do, fortunately enough I came to my senses and bought myself a homebuilt single seater just over 2 weeks ago. I am just waiting for the weather to play its part so I can go and do my licence renewal so I can once again fly legally in this part of the world. As Weedy has mentioned I also made some inquiries about maybe doing some mustering for a bit, all kneed to do is win lotto and I can make it happen, hang on if I win lotto and be on tomorrow nights flight back to JoBurg (it's ok Len, I'll also by a holiday home in the Cape
)Well guys and girls, i hope that's sheds some light on the past few months. I'll try not to be a stranger from here on in, safe and happy flying to you all.
Cheers
Darren
