FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS I WOULD FLY TO BAMAGA IN MY FRIENDS 6 SEAT LIGHT PLANE RAY WOULD THEN WORK BESIDE ME AND WE SPLIT THE NETT AFTER USUALLY 5 WEEKS 7 DAYS SLOG,SPRAYING USUALLY 25 HOUSES EACH DAY FOR COCKROACHES,SPIDERS ANTS,AND SOME TERMITE TREATMENTS
THE STORIES I COULD TELL WOULD TAKE DAYS.
I MADE MANY FRIENDS AMONG THE LOCALS.
THE SECOND YEAR I SAILED UP IN ROSA M AND TOOK SOME KIDS OUT FOR A DAY SAIL

EARLY TRIPS WE HIRED THIS HOLDEN CAR TO GET US AROUND TO WORK
LATER I PURCHASED THIS ECONOVAN ON THURSDAY ISLAND AND SHIPPED IT TO BAMAGA AS I FINISHED A 5 MONTH CONTRACT WITH A LOCAL ISLANDER COMMITTEE,KERIBA KAZIL , WHEN I CONDUCTED A NEED SURVEY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN THE TORRES STRAITS. I FLEW TO EVERY INHABITED ISLAND TO INTERVIEW ALL PERSONS WITH A DISABILITY,AND LOCAL COUNCIL,TO DECIDE WHAT SERVICES CAN BE PROVIDED FOR THEM BY COMMONWEALTH HEALTH.
GOOD PAY,GOOD PROJECT,GREAT RESULTS FOR THE PEOPLE.
I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT
NOTE THE RED DUST AS A ROAD ALL OVER,EXCEPT MAIN STREET
