Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

  • Geez this flight to Canberra is packed and hot! Pretty chuffed with myself that I got everything done on time - dishes, bins, all the packing, really glad for this baggage scale I got from my brother as the gate staff were steadfastly checking all the carry on bags… For a 42 minute flight. Even though I don’t have the satisfaction of having finished all my work projects I’m glad to be getting away!

    • I had a client based in Melbourne, but with an office in Canberra. I used to get sent there for day jobs occasionally. I rather liked those missions. I was paid from the minute I left home until I got back, and they paid for everything (meals etc).

      It’s a neat thing about working in Melbourne that I do miss. It’s so close to Sydney and Canberra. Fly for two hours from Perth, you might have left the state. Just.
