Working In Melbourne

First Post in Melbourne

Sorry that I’ve taken so long to post but not had any internet access. Arrived last Wednesday, about 4pm (Australian time) 210c. Out flight had been delayed in Dubai due to fog! Shattered after the flight, must have been watching all those movies… all those films I’d meant to watch but had never quite got round to!

Went to bed virtually straight away – And slept for nearly 12 hours. Office (or so we thought) was only a 5 minutes stroll from our apartment building. We went to work for 9am Thursday. Everyone in office seemed friendly, given a SIM card for work phone so to go and buy cheap PAYT. Found out that Kelly and myself were actually to be based out at Broadmeadow which wasn’t as close to the apartment – A 20 minute taxi drive…at present we don’t know how we are going to get to the office each day as it is a rough area. We could get the train but once we get to the station in Broadmeadow there is either a 20 minute walk or bus trip, though we’ve been advised that this could be a bit dodgy! First few days to get a taxi until something sorted. Oh and met up with Phil Sullivan in the office, he was really helpful and just a bit surprised to see us.

Thursday Evening – Met up with a few of Kelly’s friends, went for dinner and to a few different bars. Good evening and everyone very friendly. Adrian might even be going to work at same offices as myself. Quite a late night considering!!
