    Hi from Oz



    Hey people, I have enjoyed reading everyone's yabba about all sorts of different work details and I am looking foreward to the occasional chit-chat. I live in Cairns in the north of Australia and this is a harsh environment for equipment (eg. absolutely pouring down at the moment).
    I think it's great to see a forum where people can ask for help if they need it ... and from all over the world.
    Regards, B

    welcome!
    I went to port douglas a couple of years ago, you sure have a challenge with the heat and humidity out that way. Are your condensate drains storm water pipe sized?
    What sub-field are you in?

    Hi Byronovich, how are things downunder? I am looking to move to Oz - just need the experience here first (damn visa requirements). We were looking to move to Gawler nr Adelaide as we have a distant relative willing to rent one of his houses to us. What are the prospects like where you are?

    Hey Byronovich,
    We're having a bit of a heat wave down south. Adelaide has has two weeks of over 35C and Melbournes not far behind. Which cause all the usuall drama's of units not condensing properly and everything tripping on H.P which makes thing especially busy.
    Cheers
