*Thus ending 10 years of continuous occupation of the apartment. Among other things, we found a "brown" stain on the carpet. In a _Odd Couple_ moment, we realize that's the original carpet color.

I was rather shocked to find out reciently that it was being used a dention center. The environment there is very harsh.

When I was in Woomera there was:

ELDO - Europeon Launch Development Orginazation
Doing mosting test stuff, no major lauches.
RAAR & RAAFR - Royal Australian Army & Air Force Reserves
shooting up the donga for practice.
JDC - Joint Defence Communications
Where I worked (and that's all I can say)
The Village - The living and support area to the above.
No one there except a few fans thought anything
odd about calling it "The Village."

I loved Australia, I even considered emigrating after my posting there. We took a 3 week tour in 1999, after the World and saw many parts of Australia that didn't get to see when I was posted there and were able to visit bits that I really wanted to show [livejournal.com profile] chriso.

Aussies are great folks (not counting the Yabos) and while many freedoms are not codified, they are accepted and the government doesn't dare take them away (except those damned internet censorship laws).
