Yesterday I had to go down to the house there so Telstra could connect my phone. Whilst waiting for them I took a few shots from my front verandah. This image below is made up of 26 images stitched together, and shows part of the view I have from there. Photoshop had a few problems getting everything lined up in this shot, but it is still useable.
Click on the image below, and then again on the image that appears in a new window to get it at full size (much reduced from the original) but a warning to dial up users, this image is just under 3 Mb even at the reduced size.

I think I have just made a huge mistake!!! I bought a house in Queenstown only to be told that I have no hope of finding work there. Does anyone have information please???

Im not fussed about the type of work, however I am a vocational trainer (welfare and disability work) and a case manager (community services). Currently I am director of studies (like a head teacher) of a private RTO (training organisation) for international students.
I have worked in retail when younger, credit collections, run folk art/craft classes from home and had general office work positions. Ive also been a security guard at the airport.
Happy to try anything really.
Pamela
What kind of work would you be looking for?

Will be back in Queenie on Monday and should have a chance to take a look around town at the employment agencies to see what they may have that could utilise your training skills. There is certainly work in the area if you are not fussy, and quite possibly even if you are fussy too.

The next two shots are from the Pioneer Cemetery. Possibly one of the nicest cemeteries I have seen, set on a hill surrounded by lush tree ferns and other flora. Could not resist capturing a wild Shane V in his natural habitat.
Queenstown football oval - yes it has a gravel surface, and yes they still play football (Aussie Rules) on this.

Have also discovered in my wanderings around town that the people here are quite friendly and often give a nod and a g'day as you pass in the street. So far it has also proven to be a very peaceful and quiet little town. My place is high above the main shopping area and sounds do tend to travel up here clearly, but it is extremely peaceful most of the time.
There is a small furniture store here that is open 2 days per week, though it is more of a boutique style. The two IGA supermarkets in town have many local notices posted on their windows offering almost anything and everything for sale through private sellers.
Have not had any problems getting supplies of food, etc, at the local stores, though I will mention that the price of booze here is very high, and in some cases 50% higher than it was in Rosebery. Luckily I have someone in Rosebery who can import for me when they visit. Other general prices are quite reasonable, mind you it is quite a few years since I lived near a major supermarket.
