For the past few years, I have been nose down and studying hard. I was second from being Dux of School, but the top of the year in Physics, Chemistry and Applied Mathematics, and I did it two years ahead of most kids. Not only that but I was also accepted to study at university at the age of just 15 years and 8 months old, with my birthday in late June. I am very tall for my age, and although I didn’t do any gym work I had a strong build and was rarely teased about being super smart, and I nev

University student Brett Hamilton completes high school two years earlier than usual and enters university to study Aeronautical Engineering, which he changes to Aerospace Engineering in his second year. Back home for Christmas Holidays, the family goes for a camping holiday, where things change dramatically for Brett.

“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.

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….
