Rural Victoria and Me

A few people have requested photos of where i live and some "updated" photos of me. Well I dug through the archives and found some pics that might give you an idea of where i live and my life here in Australia.

This one is of me standing in front of the Ambulance Station where i am working. I know that you can't see everything that well but this is the only one i have currently of where i work. I have just put a digital camera on Layby and so when i have picked it up i will start to take more pics.

The computer is playing up currently and taking FOREVER to actually download one picture into the blog so will only be able to add one or two more for now.


Where i live currently in Wangaratta. It is a small 2 bedroom unit but actually very nice and i was blessed when i went searching for places as i got a really good price on the rent.


Tomorrow a workmate and I are off to Bendigo for some "extra" training in a different computer dispatch system called CIS. It was designed here in Victoria and is actually much like CAD, minus all the bells and whistles that go with CAD of course. Anyway, i have already worked in Bendigo a couple of days but actually have to be "trained" officially in how to use the system. Hey i only crashed the system twice last time i worked there. :-)

Next Tuesday i am attending a light structure minimum skills course for the Country Fire Authority (CFA) where i am a member. I have already completed and passed my minimum skills to be able to fight light scrub fires, so I figure they must trust me enough to let me attend this class and not hurt anyone. :-) I was and am looking forward to attending my first fire. Unfortunately for me we have a large scrub controlled burn this Saturday but i have to work at RAV. I was sad as it would have been a great learning day as it was a controlled burn that the CFA were actually starting. Oh well hopefully next time. Once i get all my completed uniforms i will try to get a pic of me so that you can all have a good laugh.
