Thread: Gidday

Howdy Cobbers, or is it Sawadii, another Aussie has join Teak Door. Marko is my name, I am nearly 50 & am living in Geraldton, West Australia but hope to relocate to The Land of Smiles, in the near future.
I worked in the fishing industry for 20 years, crayfishing, before moving onto vessels, that support the offshore oil & gas industry, which is where I work now. I have just done 5 weeks onboard & am swinging off in a couple of days, so this time next week, I will be in downtown Bangkok, Yahoo.

Crayfish or shrimp?

• Sandgroper, nickname for an inhabitant or native of Western Australia
• The Sandgropers, a nickname for the representative Australian rules football team from Western Australia
