Another miserable homecoming! Somehow returning to Australia after an overseas job never quite measured to my expectations. Moved into the Canberra house which I had bought in 1976 and got a job as Accountant/Office Manager with a truck dealer and repair shop. Quite a come-down after all the other things I had done but this was home and it was all I could hope for! The Canberra winter came which was the last straw so I bought a slip-on camper on a V8 FORD utility and left town.
