RE: ULOG 003 - A typical day at work

in #ulog6 years ago

How do you like living in Australia? That is one place I have always wanted to go. It is in such a secluded part of the world and is all kind of its own thing, the down unda. Have you ever been off the continent? If so, what is it like compared to other places you may have traveled, and what other areas in Australia are you familiar with besides Sydney?

I have also done night shits for months at a time working security before. I was outdoors by myself too, and I have been freaked out by all kinds of creatures making noises in the darkness, especially possums! I bet you have all kinds of strange creatures making noises around your neck of the woods at night. Have you ever heard of a Lyrebird? It is an amazing animal that is only found in Australia.

Sort:  

There are pros and cons like everywhere I guess.

Being isolated is a plus and minus. It probably makes it safer (I think) but it also make sure it less practical to travel. I used to live in Europe for 16 years and I could go for a weekend in another country for less than 100 euros.

It’s too hard to sum up everything, in the end we still appreciate what Australia has to offer.

We’ve always lived in Sydney and the Central Coast. We have visited Canberra and Redcliff QLD.

Sounds like you have had an interesting life too 😄
In the summer you get all sort of sound at night. Especially if you live up north where it is warmer.

I had to go to YouTube to see what a Lyrebird is. Interesting animal, it can even mimic sound from construction fields haha.

Yes the Lyrebird is an interesting one indeed! Did you see the video where they replicated noises they heard coming from a radio and chainsaws in the woods? I am glad you like it there, I can only imagine the night time symphony you hear regularly.

Yea I think that’s the one I saw when I talked about construction site noise it was mimicking.

That is an awesome video. I hope to see one in person at some point in my life.
