Yes true Geoff. I was sorta thinking along those lines. But I think I've done my time away from the family. Up until 2001 I had spent something like 15yrs working remote sites on a Fly-in, Fly-out basis.

My (ex) wife really put up with a lot. Most yrs I was only home for a total of around 2mths a yr. Money was good, but I missed a lot of the kids growing up.

Now I'm single again & could easily afford the time to take this job, but I think I'll stay here at least until the youngest one (9yo) is old enough to fly international by herself. Then I'll look into something like this more seriously.

As well as my Australian Passport, I also have a British one, so I can live & work in any EU country. So lots of choice for the future.
