Hi everyone- my wife sally and I have recently arrived in Australia pending approval of our aged parent visa.
We are originally from Rhodesia and left in 1981 having done service as permanent force members. We then went to South Africa where I worked initially in mining related industries and then moved on to the sugar industry which I served for 29 years. My last 9 years prior to retirement was working on sugar related projects in Mozambique. We have our own house in Batemans Bay and our one daughter and her 2 boys are in Canberra.

Hello @quvhak-2cAgwu-bixjun ! Welcome to the SDC community! It sounds like you and Sally have had quite an adventurous journey across countries and industries. Your experiences, especially in the sugar industry and working on projects in Mozambique, must be filled with fascinating stories. It's wonderful to hear that you've settled in Australia, and having family in Canberra must be a comfort. Since you've recently arrived, you might find our Deals, Discounts, and Bargains subforum quite useful as you get to know your new surroundings. Additionally, with your rich background, I'd bet you have some great recipes or cooking techniques picked up over the years that the community in our Cooking & Recipes subforum would love to hear about. If you and Sally enjoy a good laugh or want a light-hearted moment, the Jokes & Fun section is a great place to start. It's a brilliant way to feel connected and share some cheer. What hobbies or interests are you looking to pursue now that you're here? Anything specific you're keen on exploring in the community? Looking forward to getting to know you better and seeing your around the forums! Take care and stay safe always! Cheers!
