Greetings from WA

[ozwheels]

Hi anyone who is interested

I seem to migrate from "Rhodie/Zim" website to "Rhodie/Zim" website. I used to chat on the RWW site until it got overrun by people wanting to heap "*&%$" on each other rather than engage in open discussion. I then had a go on the Reunited site but participation in that just seemed to fade away, dont know why as there were some good contributors. So, having just found out about this one thought I would give it go!!

Am ex Allan Wilson (60 - 63), did national service in 1964, becoming a Sapper, serving in the RhE until I left in 1976. After qualifying, I worked with a firm of engineering consultants in Salisbury, married an ex Jameson High School lass, had 2 children and in 76 was offered a transfer to Jersey in the Channel Islands, hence the departure at that time. We never really settled in the UK, Jersey is only about 120 sq km and we missed the sun and wide open spaces. So, we packed up and headed for Australia and have been happliy settled in Perth ever since.

Cheers

Welcome Oz, there are a few folk on here living in WA. Biffon, Pennymac and Green to name a few. If you need anything round here, just yell and someone will come to your aid.

[ozwheels]

Thanks joemac. I see you are in NZ, I work in the mining industry over here and there are plenty "cuzzie-bro's" here - all great guys and good to work with I might add.

Have a good one

Like he said Ozwheels look out for the women - one in particular can be nasty on occasions when she is on the loose

[Tricky Nicky]

Welcome Ozwheels - this is the best site EVER ! Enjoy yourself - and us women are not that bad...... I promise :smiley2:

[ozwheels]

Wow!!! I'm impressed, thank you Tricky Nicky, dallas, zimajays, sally, Nyala, sarahe, boards, SpaRHawK, licorice, peas and barto11 (I hope I have got everyone) for the very warm welcome. Will endeavour to continue the high standard "trivia"

[ozwheels]

Thanks also to you Howard Neill for the welcome, I remember you from the "other site" and as I recall you too were a sapper at some point in your career. Yes, looking at the age of many on this website, many were not even born when I left, a generational shift to be sure.

[sprout]

Welcome Oz. Please ignore the boys, they have no idea what they are talking about, all the girls are sweet as pie! :whistling:

[pennymac]

welcome oz, I'm in perth too, its a great place isn't it?
Enjoy TCB, we all do!

[ozwheels]

Tx pennymac - The WA country is even better, great beaches in the south and fantastic scenery in the far north.

[Shayne]

Welcome aboard. Toliet is downstairs and rubbish collection is on Tuesdays.

Hi OZ

You are quite right. We were the 13th Intake - 2 Field Squadron, at KG VI Barracks. It was peace time soldiering in those days - 1962.

You will enjoy it here.

Cheers
