.No ,you have it all wrong , nothing in queensland cheap Except the politicians, Can let you have the whole Queensland Labor party cheap as for a nice guy like you .They just spent Billions of $ Resuming propertys ,destroying peoples lives for thier traverston dam project .Federal goverment says No They can't build it . Like DUH Wouldn't you get all your approvals in place first Before starting a project like it ..ian.
........near did myself a damage............but it is ok because we have some in victoria like that, maybe they all came from canberra and split up to get better coverage yes, this is me first day offshore and heref for chrissy (second year in a row) 
not fair but that is how it is sometimes in this game, we had 3 chirstmas dinners in the last week when i was home, was only home for 10 days because of the training and a bit of time in darwin, at least we got out for a fish while we were there and got it in as a mini second honeymoon too, needed the points after forgetting to wish the wife happy anniversary the week before 
so i will remember to have one for you 
..Mate obviously you don't have a teenage daughter,because the job of remembering and reminding their dumb forgetfull dads of those important dates belongs to them so if she forgets to remind me i can just blame her . My missusess birthday is about two weeks away and anniversary is about a month away .easy to remember now but on the day 
..The nuffield ended without a bid as the one bid was withdrawn .There is {WAS?} a 574 inter with a rear mounted forklift on it but i didn't think that setup was what you were after ..You should go back and offer him $1500 for the nuffield now as it was his starting bid ,with no reserve. . keep in touch mate .ian. I am sweating it out in about 34 degrees (c) with about 90% humidity day and night here, 500 klms NW of Darwin Aus..........sounds like an interesting machine with the hydraulic and wheel setup the way it is......I didnt go ahead with the purchase of the machine, basically I chickened out because that is the only one I and a few others had ever seen and because I am on limited time at home due to work committments, I decided not to take on another orphan project, I really have to try and limit the amount of "non operational" projects that i seem keen to adopt.......got any other interesting machines there mate ? Take care now.....greg
