it is not easy

living in another culture. Migrants and refugees must find it so tough but they must think it is much more worth it than to stay in their own country. I miss the farming ads for Incitec and other fertilisers products and the heavy machinery ads they have in Western NSW for harvestors and tractors and cotton pickers. That's what i missed most about living at Mooney Mooney on the mangroved banks of the Hawkesbury River, oyster growing and processing capital of the Sydney basin. To think that was 10 years ago now. It was not for me. My school and residence next door backed down through the mangroves into the water. Had it been my nature, I could have gone out each afternoon in a tinny with a 6 pack, spent 2 or so hours trying to fish and that could have been very pleasant even had I not caught a fish. But it just wasn't me.
