    Yep, just one of the hazards of living in Australia’s tropical north. Crocodile, mosquitoes, leaches, sea snakes… 😜😉😁

    After putting on my headset, I scanned all of the instruments to see what information that I needed to know, and realised that there was a heck of a lot more instruments that I am used to. “I know, there seems to be a lot of information in front of you, but just keep an eye on all of the key instruments, and that is all we need to worry about,” the first officer said to me smiling, and I gave a nod of understanding. I seemed like that I had only just taken a seat, when we started to make ou

    “Ok soldiers, lets give them a nudge and show them we mean business shall we,” the Major said over the comms, and teamed up with two other soldiers, we approached the tent that the one woman was using to sleep in, and I carefully opened up the fly zipper, only to hear the click of a gun, and I froze. “One more move Mr and you will wear this,” the women growled, and I saw the Corporal nearest to me give the count down signal from three. On one, I quickly rolled away and two rapid shots were

    “Permission granted, take care out there now, and make sure you stay connected with communications through the Sat Comms, I will get the reserves at Port Headland on standby in case they are needed, good luck soldier,” the CO said to me, “yes sir and thankyou sir,” I replied, before the call ended. “Ok, I have to go out and do a check on the Army base, so I will be gone for most of the night, but don’t worry, I will be in constant contact with Army communications in Perth, I suggest that yo

    Sanc Chapter 16

    quokka commented on quokka's story chapter in Sanc Chapter 16

    I’ve just reread this story, and spotted a few mistakes, some have been correct, the rest I will get around to soon. About the idea of a sequel and with Jonah as an adult. Since it has been three years since I wrote this story, I am considering doing a sequel starting at three years later… what do you think?

    I thought about that too, but decided against it. That’s why I’m running along the story line of ex-Army troublemakers.

    “Leave her, take the children somewhere please, I will handle this, miss,” I said to the young women, who balked uncertain on what to do, before waving to the children to join her, and they left the kitchen. “RFDS, this is Mountain View Station, Jexon Kendrik speaking, over,” I said into the radio mic. “Go ahead Dr Kendrik, how is Mrs Jamison, over,” came a response, “She is still unconscious, her heartbeat is good, bit a little fast at 122 per minute, respiration is 19 per minute, her ski

    quokka posted new chapter in Desert Vets

    About an hour later, after a lot of struggling, we managed to get the heavily sedated horse in the float, and after giving instruction on where to go, Mike Judson and one of his station hands, Aaron Archer, were on their way for the 90-minute drive to the Corunna Downs Homestead. Once I had cleaned up, and packed away everything, I was driven back to my plane, with a quick stopover at the local store to buy some groceries for home, and I was soon in the air, also heading for Corunna, but I

    Hi, there is a second airfield on Rat Island in the Eastern Group, 31 kms to the South.

    When the time came for the wedding service, I nervously followed Rhodes, and we went around the back of the homestead, and approached the ceremony area where I saw Marcus smartly dressed, with a new hair trim, and he was smiling broadly as I approached. As expected, the service lasted for thirty minutes, with us both exchanging and receiving rings, and once we kissed for the first time as husband and husband, everyone cheered and I blushed. After some photos were taken, we all sat down for

    After the unexpected proposal and the engagement party that happened a few days later at the house, located behind the vet hospital and the aircraft hanger, everything went on fast. With it being the dry season, we decided to have the wedding in August, to be held at the families Inverway Station, before the end of the season, and we decided to have a short honeymoon at Lord Howe Island. I organised to charter a four-wheel drive charter vehicle to drive the wedding guests the 410 kilometres

    Desert Vets

    quokka posted a story in Fiction

    Jexon and Marcus are now married, and return home to meet two new staff members, so building alterations to the upstairs area of the Vet Hospital and a brand new aircraft waiting on the tarmac, a wedding gift from the family. It isn't long before both Marcus and Jexon are in full swing with work, been called out to the new Quarantine Station just East of the border, with them landing on the new airfield on the west side of the border.

    “What are you smiling about?” Emmanuel asked as I put my phone away, “Oh, nothing much, just tidying up some trash, which has been sorted and thrown away,” I said cryptically. Emmanuel frowned and then shrugged his shoulders before heading off to get some snacks and another book to ready for the next stage of the flight. When we arrived home, it looked quiet and peaceful, and there was no sign of any rubbish anywhere, so the team must have been very busy cleaning up the mess, with Aunty Jos
