those of you have have been in touch will be well aware of the dilimmas I've been facing recently.

Mainly: I love it here in Oz and don't want to leave. Do I stay here, do I go home, or do I carry on travelling and see if I'll like the next place better?

Well - the decision was pretty easy. I stay...

Basically I've managed to find a company willing to sponsor me, and the paperwork is currently being processed by the immigration dept.

Not sure if this is the end of wandering at whimsy - as I guess I'm officially no longer a backpacker... will continue to blog so long as I'm doing interesting things I guess :oP

Once the paperwork is done, I'll have a working visa for the next 4 years, and will be living in Sydney for the forseeable future.

PS: I'm working in the Tyre industry again, so I'm back in rubber :oP somehow I think it suits me :oD
