Geraldton............For Now.

We got to Geraldton and started looking for a bit of work. We have the ambition to work the wheat harvest here in the west and we are in the wheat belt, so good a place as any.

 

Geraldton Port and a bit of town.

We registered for the harvest and got interviews and practically have the job, just waiting for the confirmation email. They love couples working at the remote grain receival sites as many people don't want to go out bush. We want to!!

Geraldton is not to our liking, Trace and I both don't like it much but we have jobs and the harvest starts in a month or two so......... We had a look at the HMAS Sydney monument that is here in town and it's fantastic. The HMAS Sydney sunk off the coast of WA and took 645 men in WWII. There is a seagull in the dome for every man.

Life here revolves around a bit of fishing and a large port for ore and Wheat. I am again working in a hardware shop selling tools, bolts and Nuts. I don't like the job, but it puts money in the bank. Trace is working for the caravan park we are staying in which gives us cheap site fees, water, gas and power.

We are both looking forward to starting to work for CBH Group (Co-Operative Bulk Handling) and heading out bush. The windy wet weather on the coast does not impress either of us. :-)

We are still having a ball though!
