New Job<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was well and truly over Greyhound when I resigned on 5th Sept and started a new job the very next day. Greyhound get my vote as Australia’s worst employer – enough said!<\/p>\n

I am now working for Alsco, mainly delivering miners clothes out to mines around Emerald and Moranbah. Start at 6am, finish at 1.30pm one day, then 5 or 6pm the\u00c2\u00a0 next day. Lots of overtime on most Saturdays – and I am earning more than I was using my Technicians ticket, with a whole lot less hassle.<\/p>\n

Bundaberg weekend<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last weekend was my first full weekend off since taking 2 days off in the June long weekend. (I worked 24 days straight with Greyhound at the end – they have a huge turnover of staff here in Emerald.) So we took off for Bundaberg (approx 600km) and had a bit of a look around, some fine dining, a massage, etc.<\/p>\n

We stayed in a flat with a view over the beach at Bargara- one of Bundaberg’s beachside suburbs.<\/p>\n

We both took a shine to the next suburb south of Baragara – called Coral Cove, it has a quiet inlet that looked to be a great spot for a swim. Just on the edge of the village they were harvesting sugar cane.<\/p>\n

The Honda Crv is serving us well and hasn’t missed a beat for us – I sold the Suzi a while back as I wasn’t using it at all and our site is already full with the truck, caravan, and carport for the Honda car and the motorbike.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning we had breakfast in the garden cafe at the Bargara Berry Farm – a beautiful spot for a delicious and decadent breakfast.<\/p>\n

We both enjoyed the break away from Emerald and are looking forward to getting away in a month or so (once I do my second run down to the Imbil Motorbike Rally – so far at least a dozen riders are heading down from Emerald for 4 days of fun)<\/p>\n
