Wagga Wagga

You know your in for a treat when you fly a prop plane!


One of the cool things about my job is that I get to travel around to places I normally would never go. These last two weeks I started a project at work that involves travelling all over New South Wales. I have to fly to every place I go and normally this would be a serious pain in the ass. However, in Australia the airports are magically hassle free compared to the US. First of all checking in is about the same and only takes a few minutes. But the real kicker is the security line. You don't have to take off you shoes, you don't have to worry about liquids and the security line takes about 3 minutes. This is how all airports should be.

Anyway, I was able to get out to quite a few towns (not cities but towns) places like Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbor, Grafton and a place called Wagga Wagga. Gotta love the names of places in Australia. The reason for all the travel is I am working on reviewing a utility companies procurement and inventory management systems across their network. So myself and a few other team members have to fly to all of their warehouses located across NSW. Sounds pretty lame but it's actually pretty interesting.

These towns are a stark contrast to Sydney. The best way to describe it would be like San Francisco versus Barstow. It is a good experience but I definitely would not be going back to these places on my own free will.


Wagga Wagga, a great place to raise a family and tip some cows.
