  • Sorry preferably out westen sydney

  • My advice to the son wanting to be a mechanic is don’t. I work in the automotive industry and its a dying trade. The work is just not there any more. Service intervals are increasing and with electrification of cars soon to be the norm there will be less work to do. I have friends with workshops who complain about 2 things, hard to find a good mechanic to employ and second, work drying up. If he wants to do it for about 10 years and then move on to something else then fine however as a long term career I would not consider it.

  Early yesterday morning, I was fishing at Nudgee Beach just off the edge of Moreton Bay, adjacent to the Brisbane River and Airport. It’s a grubby little area and is just 20 minutes from Brisbane City, so it is very accessible. It’s my release. A…
