“We are heading for Two Rocks, where an ambulance will take him to Joondalup Health Campus, and at top speed, we will arrive there in just over half an hour,” I said to the skipper. “Oh good, it will take us a few hours to get to Two Rocks Marina, where we will stop until we know how our bosun is going,” the skipper replied as the patient was carefully carried up onto the yacht’s deck and over onto the vessel, and inside. This is my card, let me know when he has been transferred to the ambulance

“Good morning to you too boss, is that where you are at the moment? Is there a problem?” Hunter asked and I chuckled, “No nothing is wrong, just bring a Ute down to the beach please,” I asked before ending the call. “Five minutes later I heard what sounded like the buggy, which made me groan in annoyance. “How are we to get the blood dinghy up to the gate in that,” I complained as the buggy came into sight. “Oh, wow, not big enough, I better go back and get the trailer,” Hunter said as he pulled

After realising that we had been approved to build the Outdoor Education Centre and not rejected, as it first appeared, we happily chatted about how we were going to get started with moving the buildings from the complex down to the site, once a few trees and shrubs had been cleared to make way for the two family pods and eight singles pods that will be relocated from the complex, as well as a new dining and recreation halls with a kitchen, scullery and storerooms attached to the dining hall and

“Although they don’t need to stop for fuel at Christmas Island, they do need to go through customs, so that is why they are stopping there, with Jurien Bay only a 90-minute drive north of here, so we can avoid any kind of tracking at the airports in the city. I believe they took a commercial flight from Zurich to Mumbai, and chartered flight from then on to Singapore,” I explained. “That is quite a long way about getting here from Europe,” Rebecca stated, “It is, but less chance of being tracked

“I see nothing else on the property apart from the machinery shed, and that viewing platform, plus the windmills and stock. I am presuming you didn’t get permission to have that platform built?” the Ranger asked, “No, we wanted to keep the place free of too many buildings, we removed all the old sheds and yards at the top and now it is just farmland and natural bushland. We have also spent a lot of time planting more trees on the property to protect it from wind erosion,” I commented. “Yes

More Problems Down the Road
quokka commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in More Problems Down the Road
Im drowning… in aaaannnntttiiiissssipation…. -
Doing great Lee… keep those chapters coming.

Great story, looking forward to many more chapters… 😉😇🤓🤠

Not in this case. Police are there to deal with the firearms incident, Ranger is there because the incident happened on the beach and the offenders were camping at the shires official campsite just down from there, and Shire rangers have the authority to check properties to ensure firebreaks have been completed and there are no suspicious activities happening within the shire. Shire Council = Local Government 3 levels of Government in Australia… Federal - Senate (Upper House) & Lower House - Elections every 3 years. State - Elections every 4 years & Local - staggered elections every three years.

Justice of the Peace is a local official with basic law training and limited powers.

Its the Shire ranger with the drone..

He wont be able to smell if its bitten off.

Once we unlocked and climbed through the hatch, locking it behind us, we walked along the top of the complex, “You can hardly tell that there is anything here when it is all shut up tight,” Marcus commented as he looked around. “That is exactly what we want, so the complex remains secret,” I replied as we walked towards the back of the complex where it’s at ground level, and a few minutes later we reached the quad bike. A bit later we arrived at the laneway gate, where two vehicles waiting

As we say here, they are local yahoos / idiots, wanting to have fun without any care on who they annoy, injure or property they damage. Very common in Australia with the yahoo’s usually being in late teens early adulthood, who just want to have fun with their mates….

“Somehow we have some major leaks in law enforcement in three countries, and we need to get these three witnesses into a more secure location like Oscar’s Country retreat. We organised a conference between some regional executives of the NCB to speak to Oscar, but when he saw the extra people on the screen he disconnected the link, and he has ignored all of our calls,” Koen added. “That is twice now… Two times that you guys have put Oscar in possible harm’s way. Tell me Koen, what is the main ai

I led the way into their new home, where Julia and the boys had a good look around the pod, which Rebecca and I had been busy adding stuff to make it more homely for them, with one of the bedrooms made into a playroom for the twins, and they soon found all the toys waiting for them. “The boys have separate bedrooms, but if they want to share a bedroom, we can happily change that around for them,” I said to Julia, “Let’s wait and see how they handle it, they usually do share a bedroom, so we may

We decided that it would be safer if we travelled by road and we are already on our way. We left Canberra early this morning, and we stopped for some breakfast, before we cross over the border, southwest of our start location,” Jarrad said to us. “Are you there Giles? Take the longer route and stop over at my property on the coast, I will book you in under my name for a few days, so you can all have a rest on the way,” I said over the phone. “Got that boss, I was thinking of the same thing

Once in chambers, Koen explained that there had been recent breaches in the police database, with searches for the whereabouts of his two protected witnesses, which are currently under investigation. Koen added that since they were unsuccessful in finding information on the databases to give their whereabouts, they are now attempting to use the courts to demand their location and have them come before the courts, to kill them, which would result in a dismissal of their case through the appeal pr
