Meine Sicht der Dinge

What a week!
Apr 4th
I’m back in Darwin after an awesome (but exhausting week).
It all started on monday, with our flight being delayed for a couple of hours. As we finally arrived in Perth, I jost got to my room and slept, because the next flight was scheduled at 5 am the next day. After our flight to Curtin we changed planes from a Boeing 737 to a small Cesna. This last flight finally had Koolan Island as destination. It was very impressing ’cause of the nice view. Especially the shore was almost like paradise.
Paradise?
As we arrived on the island we worked the whole day. Work itself wasn’t very interesting the first day- but the things I saw were. For example the very big gear they use on a mine site, like trucks:

The next day was more interesting because it was a boat trip planned around the island. On the boat we discovered half of the island and saw some interesting places. After that, when we were back on the island, I was able to take some pictures of interesting gear (and myself):

On the last day on the island I was also able to take a picture of the very beautiful sunset:

On thursday we got back to Perth and had a meeting there. In the arvo we went to the little creatures brewery in fremantle. The next day (and the last day of the trip) we again had a meeting. After that there was still some time left to go to kings park and I had a look at the Perth skyline:

It was a great trip and I took a lot of pictures. You can find them all here.
Flight still delayed
Mar 30th
As i tweeted already, my flight to Perth was delayed due to an industrial action going on in Perth and Sydney. We still don’t have the new departure time of our flight and are waiting at the airport. I hope that i get to Perth before midnight, that i can catch up enough sleep. The plane just landed here from Perth, so in about 20-30 minutes we might get in and take off. The next flight tomorrow morning to Koolan Island will be at 5:00 am.
Koolan Island
Mar 18th
Ich geh mal wieder auf Reisen. Diesmal verschlaegts mich auf Koolan Island. Das ist eine kleine Insel in Western Australia. Warum auch immer, fliegen wir zuerst von Darwin nach Perth. Also hab ich ca. einen halben Tag in Perth frei um mir die Stadt anzugucken. Mal schauen ob das zu machen ist 
. Nachdem ich dann eine Nacht in Perth geschlafen habe, geht’s mit einem kleinen “Bug Smasher” (vermutlich eine Cessna, wie beim letzten “on site” visit) zur Insel. 2 Tage wird dann hart “on site” gearbeitet – sprich sich die oertlichen Gegebenheiten angeschaut und mit dem Kunden verhandelt. Anschliessend gehts wieder ueber Perth zurueck nach Darwin.
Wens interessiert, der kann sich hier die verrueckte Flugroute anschauen.
