I really feel for you NSW guys. Crap weather, worse beer and even worse fishing geez no wonder there's no barra there

Brisbane would be sweet Nagg my folks live there. 6 hrs defiantely makes long weekend barra trips possible.

2.5 years ago i saw the light and sold everything i owned and moved into gods country [Buderim, QLD] from that horrible little over rated fishing village they call Melbourne. I have never ever had dreamed life would have been so good. Ive got the 2 premier impoundments within a few hours drive and close enough for day trips, The best offshore any one could want [Mooloolaba and Noosa, Moreton Bay] and some of the best bass fishing in the world close by. Yeah lifes a bitch when the I.B.D sets in hard. Look at what it made me do!!!!! Loving every minute of it.
Cheers

Ha ha I can picture it now. "Chris we have a prospective client in Brisbane and one in Bundaberg" Chris " I better check out the Bundaberg one first, I believe it is a very important area of growth, better drive not fly too incase it takes longer than expected "

Boys,

You have me worried!!!! With my 1st trip to Mondy on the Horizon over Anzac Day weekend I to fear I will develop the dreaded I.B.D, it has already cost me a motza on all the gear I didn't have, I live on the Goldie so we talking about a 6 hour drive I reckon, I contracted Impoundment Bass Disorder around 12 months ago and have almost forgotten about the salty brine that practically surrounds me, preferring to hit Hinze or even make the 2hr drive to Sommerset instead of the 10 minute drive to Paradise Point to chase a few lizards..................I've just realised how ridiculous that is!!!! I fear with my diminished immune system I to will succumb to the dreaded I.B.D!!! God be with me!!!! Is there a vaccination available??????

NAG's,

Mate, I know what your going through. I've just endured a whole fortnight of it down in Cairns... not getting slime on your forearms once a weekend sucks! I just did a 4 Day Wilderness First Aid Course down in Cairns, and half the time I had my mind on the job and the other half was on yep... you guessed it... Barra-friggin-mundi! But now, I get a fortnight off and Im quite sure you know what Im doing to do in that space of time!!! Wound - Salt - Rub LOL

My advice... hit the Extra Dry's and stop winging! You'll brain em' next time if you use your time away wisely.

Yeh you're another! ....... How did you manage a transfer to Gin Gin
Here I am , plotting the downfall & the assassination of others ..... just to get to Brisbane

Cheers

Nagg

[NAGG]

Tim,

You forgot their CRAP state of origin team

Not this year son! ..... Big Willy will sought you lot out on his own
Anyway ..... Lockyer cant play in a wheel chair! ..... so you're gone

It was quite funny really. They ASK you to CONSIDER doing country service. There is a list of places, most of which are way way way out west or just plain bad!! Gin Gin was on the list, It had been advertised twice and no one wanted to go there!!!

I figured 1/2 from major city (Bundaberg) good for wife and shopping, 40 min to bargarra beach (good swimming for the kids), 90min to Hervey bay, 1770, Agnes waters, 2hrs in the water to Awoonga and 20 min to a little puddle up the road with big barra!!!! And a paramedic mate in bundy has a big offshore boat and thousands of secret marks offshore Bundaberg, so the freezer always has a respectable supply of trout, reds, sweetlip etc

Work wise its busy enough, but not to busy, cost of living is pretty good (just bought a 3 bed brick house with everything and the BEST view over the cane fields and farms for $270K) Earn twice the coin than in the city and the small town safety and freindliness is awesome.

I was only asked to stay for a year!!! 2 years later, I dont think I will be leaving in a hurry.. Ironically there is a cue up to get in here now!! Most are fishermen too!! Or they just want to get out of the city where they get there arses worked into the ground.

Steve
