Another classic East verses West climate battle.
The comparo was prompted by an old mate who called in the other day after working a 4 month stint on a huge wheat farm at Eneabba, 300klm north of Perth. He lives in Narracoorte in South Australia, and hooks up the caravan and heads over the West for the ploughing/seeding season which starts with the Autumn Break rains. Said he was sick of crossing the Nullabor towing a van, so doing a lap around the continent and heading home via the east coast.
Both he and I have spent years working mining and construction in the north of WA and the NT, so the climate of Eneabba is quite different with its Med pattern rainfall.
Both myself and Wombat ( the mate's nickname as he actually resembles a wombat being about 5' tall and 5' wide...lol ) follow Aussie Rules Football and Cricket and we have attended games at Brisbane's stadium, the 'Gabba in the inner city suburb of Woolloongabba. I lived just accross the river in Newfarm for about 8 months doing a demolition job on the Wharves, so it took me all of 5 mins to drive over the Storey Bridge to attend games there.
