Chilly off to Gladstone

[Brian D]

Well I have a new local dam - Awoonga! I've taken a job at Gladstone. I will be swapping those undersized bass in Hinze for the meter pus Barra. I'll be chasing Jacks and Queenies in the Boyne River as apposed to the 20cm Albert Bass, not that fishing had anything to do with teh decision on where to live!

When I get my cabins and holdiay lettings up and running I'll do so AFO specials.

Ohhh - I'm so sad.

[sehrguht]

Sounds like fun. Good luck with the move!

[James W]

Ohhhhh no!! Ohhhh Yes..... time for me to get my resume up to scratch...LOL!

I second Rays suggestion, we need a farewell session somewhere!

[rayke1938]

What is going to happen to the chilli fleet? Too many brown handbags to go yakking at Gladstone and the cannonball?

Cheers

Good luck mate and enjoy awoonga,happyrock it's not a bad spot to live and remember that awoonga as it's fair share of big jack's in there along with those barra.

What's the job?

[Brian D]

The new job is Secretary Manager of Gladstone Yacht Club. They need my help and I am more than happy to give it. I am looking to down size my job and find a new challenge at the same time. Drooped about $50k pa but quality of life will improve.

Are there crocs up there - crap I was taking the yaks.

[Malcolm]

Inspecting property at boyne island and tannam sands, midgies will be my biggest worry!

[rayke1938]

Beneraby is nice and central preferably along awoonga dam road.

[Feral]

[tomca]

I will vouch for his barra charters... great times at great prices!

[Lozzel]

Good luck with the move and job change by the sea. as they say a change is as good as a hloiday

Bugger!!! I haven't got my marks for that area anymore, although I'm preety sure I can still get some from my mates up there.

Atleast you wont become a stranger, as Glenda & I get up that way fairly often so you can get that "Charter" up n running in quick time.

Best place to buy or live up there would be over at Tannum even better with sea views..

[Brian D]

THanks Loz, I was counting on some advise from you and a few contacts .

What about Clinton, up on the hill, any good?

[Davo_Dinkum]

shame to see u go .

but the move for quality of life vs $ is a great idea i reckon.

only met u twice at SSO and at the garage sale ,but u seam like a good bloke and a really nice guy .

guess u will be missed .

a fare well brian sounds like a great idea .

good reason for a causal social ,a fish and bbq at the park or a trip to a pub .

Yea mate, I'll see you get some marks to start you off Just get a decent GPS with a chart and a big screen :laugh: my eyes arent as good as they were.

As for Clinton. Fair but not good if wind blowing from the north or north/west.comes in off the smelters and the coal stockpiles etc.

[Brian D]

Thank you everyone for your kind remarks.

[Fergo]

Congratulations and good luck with the new job, Brian.

Should be nice to slow down the the country style pace of living and

explore all those new fishing spots.

Monduran won't be so far away now.

Hope we get to fish together again soon.

Cheers

[Dusky]

Cheers.
