Food looks good but

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

At least you got internet and an ungodly amount of saturated fats by the looks of it 😳

I wish you and the crane all the best.

The hell is your flight itinerary? Are there no direct flights from Darwin to Adelaide?

Why on earth wouldn't the boss send you direct to Adelaide? Just about would have been quicker to drive.

Aw man, sounds like you're working yourself too hard. I think you should accept that the job can't be completed by Monday, stretch it out and try to enjoy yourself. You might be in the arse end of nowhere, but other people manage to keep themselves entertained out there.

That being said, if you're getting paid overtime rates (particularly weekend overtime) then crack on!

You got this little buddy.

Lol I did not expect to see fucking Whyalla on here. Do a beachey! (They literally drive to the beach and back home LOL).

I always recommend connected airline when going through Alice/Whyalla because a fuck load of flights have been removed (rex?) and the Alice run was one of the typical ones Qantas allegedly was selling tickets for when no flight existed (and they'd swap you onto another one).

I imagine you, fists raised to the sky.... screaming

WHY ALLAH!!!!!!

Sorry to hear

Whyalla is home to the famous cuttlefish migration that takes place every winter: https://divedb.net/sites/whyalla-cuttlefish. Thousands of these cepholapods congregate on the shores to mate and lay eggs, with some crazy mating rituals. A lot of the males like to show off their camouflage by displaying a wave pattern through their camouflage. Mostly it's bigger males that get mates. However: there are little twink cuttlefish that pretend to be female to get close to a mating pair and sneak in!

For that reason I personally wouldn't consider it a "shitty little place", but haven't been there in a work capacity.

There is a piss funny podcast, that warns about what not to do on a flight, check it out

Heggie can make short-stays in any small town bearable.

Forza! You can do it!

That sounds very exotic and different from anything or anywhere I've experienced. Mind sharing some pictures of the place and the surroundings?

My grandfather lived in Whyalla, so my parents took me over to see when I was nine. I remember kicking dust around at the base of his backyard gum tree because there was nothing else to do. :)

Apt username for someone that's looking upon his work and despairing.
