I am glad you set up that site. It makes it easy to find.
How is your Mum & Dad by the way? Last I read was you got them set up away from Melbourne.
Trust all is well down 'the pits".
cheers NFA

Thanks for asking NFA, they are fine for people nearing a 100, they were at the Baynton property but now moved to Drummond, closer to the doctors in Kyneton
and the family nearby. I hope I make it to their age, doubt it but here is hoping.
Down in the pits is great, plenty of work and even the shyte Polish coal sells well despite what you may read on the MSM. Lost a few opportunities to the US bigwigs crowding in in Germany and other places but I'm ready to retire soon so not a big deal. Eldest son will take over, he didn't like the business at first when he had to help out with me being stuck in OZ, but now appreciates it a lot, out of academia, getting his hands "dirty" so to speak.
Looking forward to coming home in retirement provided unclean, not-vaxed, ones are allowed back in.

Good to hear about your folks who would be similar vintage as mine.
They bred them tough back then and for all our current problems I'm glad I didn't have to go through what they did.
That is good to hear that your eldest will continue. Did he follow a similar academic path as yourself?
Don't know about getting back to Australia unjabbeded! not with airlines being ever so righteous about only allowing the jabbed on their flying incubators.
All the best NFA

Thank you NFA, it's almost embarrassing, the number of visitors to my humble site. Getting so many pictures from friends it's hard to decide what to post, so not to alienate anyone. I know, not every pic. is everyone's cup of tea but here we are, we walk to different drum beats. Nearly there as far as retirement goes, handing over the reins as we speak. Returning to OZ at the moment is a bit of a head scratch, on one hand I, we, miss it very much on the other we like it here also, made a few friends we would miss.
All the best to you and your visitors.

Thanks Mark A
Visitor numbers are an interesting "thing" here.
I can appreciate the 'toss up' between returning to Australia and sitting it out in a comfort zone over there.
Perhaps your decision might balance on what actual 'retirement' will mean for you.
I can imagine that initially you would want to be as accessible as possible and if needed for your son.
All the best whatever your decision.

PS Maybe its time for a new career for you?! lol
