After completing my mandatory green card course in Sydeny RSL, i had to go through a thorough safety checklist:

Bloodstone boots: Check
Stupid Oz Hat: Check
Hi Vis Vest: Check
Chuck Norris Shades: Check
Handle Bar Tache: N/A

Safety first at all times :lol:

The clowns that put some of the fiber optic sensors he designed into a bridge out there were from teh Jay Joyce construction family. Arse of a job, so himself had to go show them how to do it. Nice work if you can get it! :)

Was there for 3 weeks with work, went the end of march, got back last monday week. We've some sensors on a suspension bridge in a Kangaroo Valley in South NSW, we were out on the bridge doing some maintainance work and putting some new sensors on as well, we had to have lads there from the RTA while we were working on it, hence the ridiculous outfit and sitting an utterly pointless saftey course before doing what we had to do :lol: At least i got to keep the hobnailer boots and the hat as a souvenir though 8)

If you ever want a job that is the least stressful in the world, the south NSW branch of the RTA is the spot to be in.

never met the man in my life :lol: :lol:

we were dealing with a guy who is originally from Limerick and has his own firm out there based in Blacktown in Sydney and the NSW RTA who own and maintain the bridge. Place where the bridge is was very small, about the size of Inistiouge :lol:
