Honey....I'm home!!
Well, we finally made it back to Oz!
5am arrival after almost two days travel...
Hopefully some of the "delicate" stuff will arrive air-frieght in the next 10 days or so, then a 10 week wait for all the scopes and household effects.
It will be fun (!) living on the 33rd Floor of Eureka Towers for ten weeks!
Unfortunately the paperwork (I'll post more details on the saga..) for the laser pointers was not complete - the Customs in Canberra didn't finish their "deliberations" prior to my arrival, so they were confiscated by the local guys at Tullamarine.
I hope to resolve this in the next week or so.
Geeee, it's good to be home!

Yeah,
Three international moves in five years, certainly means that you never get the chance to collect too much junk!
Only down side coming back to Oz was dumping all the food etc..
Need to go shopping....Vegemite!

Good to have you back Ken, I hope everything goes smoothly for you and you settle back in quickly.
Can't image doing so much moving in five years, especially overseas.

Hope you sort out the laser issue too.

Andrew

Glad you had a safe trip back Ken and hope you settle in as good as can be.
Don't worry, the vegemite is in good hands.

Thanks again for that, it is most appreciated.

All are well and hopefully I can get the PST out today for a bit as there is a bit of sun around for the moment.

I believe for cultural reasons they only allow a maximum of two Australian families in the Brussels area at any one time!
