Seeing Who Is Here

I am not an official AUS firie but I spent six weeks in QLD and NSW working with my brothers from down under on a job study through Rotary International. I had the chance to start in Coolangatta, go up through Brisbane, Boonah, Warwick, then down to Grafton, Iluka, Narang, and Surfer's, as well as a couple of days in Sydney before leaving. Just wanted to say, "G'day".

Hi John,
Do you know a Danny Reynolds at your station? He told us he was there for 10 years.

Just joined this group and thought it would be polite ( now thats a first) to say hi. Racing around the city of Amsterdam in my gmt600 chevy ambulance is more than fun believe me. Running into a tourist in need of help and kneeling down next to them to hear the unmistakable Oz accent is heartwarming, the look on their face when I say G'day! is more than hilarious, last guy I did that to thought he was still in Oz, took ages to convince him he definitly was in Holland... anyway.. G'day!
