Story

Reason for leaving homeland – Not enough overtime. Elected to emigrate looking for adventure and whatever came our way, just born to be wild!

About the Journey – Pissed all the way

Impressions on Arrival – Brisbane: Shit, it ain’t half hot. Houses on slits, cockroaches as big as horses, spiders big enough to eat humans & it rained every afternoon around 4pm. Locals taking shoes off during the rains. Guys in shorts. Where was the welcoming committee?
