Hi Cameron, thanks for the welcome. Agreed, there's some affinity between the 2 countries despite the language barrier... it felt like a parallel universe my first trip to Aus!<br><br>My partner's from WA so we're looking to spend some time, around 4-5 months, with the family. We currently live in the Yukon so a few months out in the winter is always a good idea! I'm also looking at it as a great opportunity to get involved in a larger geospatial community.<br>
<br>Unsure as of yet what work opportunities will come my way, keeping my eyes open though. I have dual Canadian/Australian citizenship so no need to worry about work visas (fortunately! I've paid my dues through years of immigration paperwork...).<br>
<br>Any suggestions would be most welcome...<br><br>Cheers<br>John<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 25, 2011 at 3:46 PM, Cameron Shorter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cameron.shorter@gmail.com">cameron.shorter@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi John,<br>
Welcome to Australia. There seems to be a strong affiliation between
Canada and Australia (we have hired 2 Canadians at LISAsoft
already).<br>
<br>
What brings you to Australia? What will you be working on?<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
