I'll add to the moving stories.

I'm leaving Alice Springs for a new job near Sydney.?

?

Much has happened over a few years. Late last year I was made acting Chief Botanist for the NT,? and in Jyly it became permanent.? The downside was a pay scale drop - of about $10K but continued excessive expectations.? In June a job opportunity came up for the Sydney herbarium which has relocated from the harbour foreshore to the edge of the greater metropolis 50 mi SW.

The duties are 1/3rd of my current position and pays $20K more - so a gain, had I accepted the other job, of 30K.

?

I start 19th September,? so madly working on the impossible botanical jobs here, cleaning the house, and reducing the unwanted and packing the rest.

?

The move is easy, finding a rental that accepts a small dog, and is rural,? is the hard part. I think I have seen a place, but of course they don't like me being so far away. Aiming to get a friend to attend the open house on Thursday.?
