Me Ozzie Cobbers!

I think I have before about some Aussies whom we met the first time we were here. The GR5 helped them out when they first landed and they really appreciated that and have stayed in touch. Barry and Graeme (Baz and Murph) were the first of the team and they were joined by Keren (Kez) and Rick (Rick) just shortly before we left . They are living in my building and some of them will be around till mid-late December which is cool as the kiwis ship out in a couple of weeks.

Murph has been pretty unhappy with how things are going since he got back for his second stint and to cut a long story short was able to cut his contract short and was able to leave with a weeks notice. So it has been a week of celebrations as the Aussies farewell him. He has a really out their personality. We would describe him as a brash aussie. He's fun to be around and like us has really connected with the workers. So I have been the lone kiwi to several farewell functions so has been tough as work is full on at the moment mixed with late nights and early prayer calls. I'm so pleased it's the weekend
