So the Traveston DAM on the Mary RIVER in Queensland will not now go-ahead. Peter Garrett, the Australian Federal Minister for burning beds and Funny Dances has over-ruled Queensland Premier Anna Bligh. I love LABOR politicians when they squabble.
I have finally decided to engage in further studies. I enrolled in Bachelor of General studies offered by Griffith University and OUA. The Open University Australia (OUA) is a collection of traditional universities that work together to provide an online facility offering great degree level courses. The 2 initial subjects I have enrolled in are PAC11 (Globalisation in Asia Pacific) and Modern Mandarin 1A.
I got all my Study Period 1 (Semester) Modern Mandarin materials yesterday . There is a lot of learning, but it is nothing I can not handle. When I feel confident enogh with the language I may start a few Chinese language posts.
Another new month is here. There was several major decisions reached and acted upon in October.
I was first licensed as an Amateur Radio Operator in 1982. Back in 2003 due to various reasons, mainly personal, I let my license lapse. On October 12th, I was granted a new Advanced Class Australian Callsign: VK4ARJ. Further details on my new Hamblog Vk4arj.com.
BareFootTech has traded for a little over 5 years as a Sole Trader. It has now come time to separate Barefoottech business from my personal sites and activities. So from Mid-November, Barefoottech sites will be transitioned to a new Company structure and ownership. Full Details will listed in a separate Blog posting when completed.
I had the the pleasure to stay a couple nights at a lovely little caravan park on the NSW Tweed Coast. Wooyung Motel and Caravan park is an Old Style caravan park with lot’s of great features, but not high prices. Only a short distance from the Ocean and MILES of clean uncrowded beaches. It is ideal for a quiet family time. Highly recommended by myself and the family.
