southern Cross?, r u still there? have you seen all the old holdens at Bullfinch 40 km north?, that place is littered with them everywhere, FJ's upwards.

looks like only 20- 30 people live there and they all have 5 holdens each.

Hi [MENTION=17]adam perth[/MENTION]. I moved out of Southern Cross about 61/2 years ago but still go u[p there as I have a mate that is a Southern Crosser. When I was living out there I would go out scouring the countryside for cars (good fun) there is not much left out there now especailly after the scrap metal guys went through. The most interesting thing I saw out there and it was by invite only was a private collection only 200 metres of Great Eastern Hwy. It was the and probably and still is the biggest collection of AMCs in the Southern Hemisphere. The collection was an evolution so he had one of each model as the car company changed name but still produced cars eg nash changed to chrysler etc. The open front undercover shed they were in faces away from the highway. I took my camera but out of respect for being shown the cars and a story for each I didn't take any photos or tell anyone were it is ( I dont know if he cared or not but I thought it was the right thing to do). There were ex army staff cars Nashes. He also has a soft spot for holdens and had some FJs a HT ute he ordered new with a 307 chev (I think) there was so much to take in. He also had a vast collection of enamel signage, model cars, radios one of a kind circular fridges, original wooden moulds for the Perth to Kalgoorlie pipeline. It was mindboggling what he had but still took the time out to tell a story about most of the things in his collection. Some days I miss living out in the sticks we would just jump on our trail bikes and ride for hrs checking old campsites and the like out.

Cheers Dave

If you want to move to Central Qld (Emerald) contact Mastermyne (google, they have website) they need to put a lot of people on to back fill roles at Kestrel Coal as we are moving to our new mine next door, and they are going to operate a lot of our current mine. They are putting on "cleanskins" because the experianced people just aren't available. You could expect around $100k starting salary.

thanks for the suggestion Paddy! I'll defo look into that!

[MENTION=134]hainzy[/MENTION]. What areas of film making did you work in? :lifesaver:

In theatre I worked on the stage and up in the flys, did some rigging... all that kinda stuff. Did the lion king, we will rock you, the producers, wizard of Oz and lotsa others. In films I worked in the art department. Mostly props / prop buying and set dec. Also did some standby props too so did the ol hurry up and wait scenario.. Just sat back and ate quality free food! Mostly commercials, and short films. Biggest film I did was probably Ghost Rider. Just started to work on 'the pacific' when I went to uni instead to be a paramedic.

With you leaving that is why The Pacific was not as good as Band of Brothers, I can blame you now

I did the usual teenage jobs, I worked at an independent pizza place and Kennards hire on weekends while I was at school.

I then started working as a Surveying drafts man while still working at Kennards. It was sooo boring but I wanted to stick it out. When I helped draw the plans for the Oran Park development I found it hard to get out of bed in the morning knowing that I was destroying an Australian icon ;). So after I got my certificate I go the hell out of there and went to work at Kennards as a full time casual.

18 months later I was accepted into the police college in Goulburn and went through 8 months of S**T, now I'm a cop, out in the wild west. It's lots of fun and you never know what your walking into but I like helping people that really need help. Now only 40 odd years of work to go.
