Yup. I will have to unzip the fly on my overalls to get out my right hand and I will be gouging the hell out of your big brown eye
After that introduction we will then deal with the issue of you poaching my pozzies

I know one guy that used to work at the hospital to the south that used to do it in 1:40 - 1:50. He reckoned no one ever did the trip with him twice. Yeah, my old beast is slightly underpowered. I tend do to it in 2:50 - 3:00, unless I hook yet another broken Holden on the back during the journey.

Might find something at the above site for yourself as I'm always trawling it looking for planning jobs and I've seen a few natural resource management jobs go by over the last couple months.

Anyways, I'm in the same position as you are - girlfriend wants exciting lively town and I just want to hunt dammit!! I've liked in Cromwell and QT for a couple of months each and QT definitely takes the cake for things to do and has shit-your-pants scenery everywhere. Most of the 'affordable' rentals my friends had in actual QT were terrible so try and find something in Frankton is you can (Lakes District Hospital happens to be there too).

I knew he'd be leaving the west coast with a sore ass and I bloody well knew it would not be because of your foot

He is going hunting with Tui man. I am the least of his worries. Tui's day bag, hums and vibrates Then there is Bob. He is usually lurking around somewhere...............

R93 - You're already making me feel so warm and welcome and fuzzy inside - hopefully that just remains non literal.

A nurse would have a better chance of getting a job in a rural area rather than in a city.

West coast mate.

You should get a job with your qualifications and experience quickly. Try geoscienes, councils, environmental consultants etc...

Gore... Rural city living (according to the new marketing campaign just launched)... Hospital & heaps of hunting around... Hour and a bit to Central Otago (Q'town, Wanaka etc), 3-4 hrs to tahr, hr to chamois (saw 50 odd last week). I'm biased however since I live nearby...

Oh, sorry, ignore all that... I see you are Aussies... :p

I spent about 15 years taking the piss out of Gore at every possible opportunity... poetic justice that I ended up living there, and its actually pretty good. Nice people, and top notch facilities for a small town.
