January 23, 2005

Friday, Jan.21/71( actually 1972 but I was still in 1971 )

"Yesterday I finally got my appointment -to Gilgandra- boy! Was I ever disappointed. Gil. is a town of about 2000 people 300 miles north west of Sydnley -across the Great Dividing Range from the coast."

I flew to Dubbo last night and stayed in Dubbo overnight (40 miles south of Gil., in a motel, and took the train up this morning. I wasn't feeling very well last night- tense I guess- and was sick to my stomach this morning before I had to catch the train. I felt some better afterwards, but still not very good."

The appointment to Gilgandra came as a shock because I was expecting to be posted to a city school. No one (Aussies) that I talked to knew were Gil. was loctated. Some had never even heard of it.
