Hi David
Yes I get back regularly, and I'm really the only one who's flown the coop, although John spent a few years in Sydney. I will be going back around Easter 2011 for a couple of weeks. Its good to go back every now and then, I see parts that I'd never really looked at when I lived there. My life over here has been based around Australia/NZ but I,ve worked all over Asia and the Pacific in different jobs. Even the little Islands like Samoa and the Solomons and very different places like Papua New Guinea. Most recently Ive been working on oil rigs mainly around Australia/NZ or in the shipyards in Asia. My wife is from Sarawak in North Borneo, so I've got a load of relatives around Malaysia, my daughter is a Dinky-Di Aussie from Queensland, although she's just shaken off her Kiwi accent from when we lived there.
