Fly out day....

5 weeks and 3 days this time..... Too bloody long....! Trying to align my break with school holidays. I will be home for 10 days though. Most companies allow you to manipulate your length of roster a little. Some do not...
We work 4 weeks on and 1 week off, or 5 weeks on and 9 days off. We fly on our own time.
This is how my usual fly out day plays out.
3.30 am. Alarm... Usual breakfast, pack food and off to work.
4.45 am. Catch bus to work.
6.00 am. Prestart meeting and off to work Work until 9.00. Pack up.
9.30 am. Catch bus back to camp. Arrive 10.30 am. Final pack and shower
11.45 am. Pick up by bus to airport. Check baggage and time for a mid strength beer. First one in over a week. No heavy beer at Karratha airport. Just like the MCG. Too much trouble.....
1.15 pm board. 1.35 pm take off. 2 hr flight to Perth. Arrive 3.35pm
5.00 pm flight to Melbourne. 10.30 pm land.
11.30 pm - 12.00 am. Home in bed...
18.5 hours.....! But I am home...
