 Where were you 5 years ago . & have you made the last 1/2 decade count  ??? ??? ??? ??? .
 Time to reflect   ,    & make a move if you need to  :cup: :cheers:

We had just moved to the North Coast of Nsw and looking forward to the next chapter in our lives.  The kids are five years older and in high school, giving me cheek.  Been on some great trips around SE Qld and Northern NSW, as well as Cape York and Uluru.  I hope we can do more in the next five years. ;)

I was a month out from getting married (11.10.09), quietly Shitting myself in prep for the big day...

5 years on, we have a two year old daughter, I quit my job as a lifty and started my own business. I've never been so time strapped in my life, but I'm carving out a future for our family, everything is looking peachy and I wouldn't change a thing (unless I won lotto...)

5 years ago I was 19, trying to finish my carpentry trade I couldn't get there as I only have 3 months left and I started doing some days here and there for a mates company, 5 years on I'm married and have two little boys and I am a small business owner and work full time and studying to get my fire engineering degree. Maybe that's why I'm getting a few greys now

I had just returned from the Prado Point get together at the red centre and the lovley people at work notified me that I had been made redundant due to the GFC and made one of the best decisions of my life by buying a camper trailer with the payout

I was at those same Birdsville races in 09!
After the races did a trip out to Poeppel Corner, remember they trip fondly.
