West Australia has a smallish group of spinners that meet twice a week at two different spots with an almost monthly bigger meet depending on when Byron motivates us.
I gather the East coast is much bigger though.

ok, chemical industry in australia? pretty much everywhere. it really depends on what industry your after - petrochemical? mining? pharmaceutical? food? chemicals? water? energy? environmental? nuclear? do you really have a preference, and do you have any previous experience? it also depends how far out from the major centre you wish to be. for instance there is a polyethylene plant 6km from the heart of sydney, and there are mining facilities 600km away from the next community. a good resource for general information on the different industries available is at www.chemlink.com.auif students have gone to exchange to australia before, maybe someone in your department at uni can help you with how previous students went? im a chemical engineer working in the process control and instrumentation, and have a reasonable good idea on whats around, but it depends on what your after.

No not really .
The only reason we some areas a little flooded is that there's poor drainage .

Hi Perth spinners,
I'm heading your way on Saturday with my girlfriend - Perth (or 'Pwerf" as she jokingly calls it) is her home town. Just there for a holiday but I'll attempt to make it along to one of the fire spinning meets as per listed in the "Meet Others" database. Would be quite good for me 'cause I have no one to spin with in my part of the world, I'm getting very, very stagnated. Not sure how I'll handle the heat though, anyone who has been to Southland in NZ will know just how different it is here. See ya next week (hopefully)

Hi, me again.
I've made it to Perth, the beaches are awesome, warmer than my average bath! Sorry I didn't make it to the spin last night, was enjoying some fine WA Shiraz instead (couldn't drive or spin). Not sure if I can make it tonight, I'll see what my girlfriend's plans are (I have to rely on her navigational skills, I get lost trying to walk around the block). Great place, I'm sure my opinion will change if I get bitten by something though (my girlfriend keeps taunting me with stories of tiger snakes and Ross River virus - just to keep me on edge). Hope to catch up tonight, off to Albany tomorrow for some botanising.
Cheers

There is a big spin Wed night on the foreshore at South Perth from 7.30pm

YES!!!! I'll be a nervous wreck by the time I'm out there faced with snakes, spiders, dropbears and the likes!!
Let us know when you're headed to Brisvegas, welcome to come stay and we'll have all the saftey equpment u need (for critters above or below) + info on what is going on eventwise. Smallish outdoor doofy things a bit out of town tend to be everyother week or so, if you guys are into that sort of Marlarky.
A canadian couple I know really did have a koala fall on thier tent. The girl screamed DROP BEAR! and the rest of their camp (also all from the States or Canada) scattered from the campsite as fast as thier legs could carry them. No thoughts of heroism...
The Koala rolled around a bit then made it's way off, but they now tell anyone back home that cares to listen about thier 'close brush' with a drop bear. A few people here thought to comfort them by pretending the whole drop bear thing is a 'myth' or 'just something Aussie backpackers get a kick out of telling the others' but these white lies were to no avail...

Instant ancient tradition. We are up to three delightful English and one German and one USA guests being taken up the tunnel at Midnight.
We dont have castles but this is almost as good!! There is the chance to see drop bears and hoopsnakes on the way.
We found a roo one night between us an d the tunnel, it was too dark to see it as it jumped past at high speed within touching distance. (if we hadnt been hiding behind each other)

I liked the story about the drop bear, it was so funny, Kyle - that so could have been me screaming that! I tend to believe most things people tell me...

Hey everyone, can't wait to meet other spinners and see the beautiful coast you've got over there. We'll be two happy campers and a gorgeous doggy doing the East Coast down alllll the way to Tassie. Yay, travelling again!!! It's about time, getting hot here in the Alice... Might see you there. Sprocket

Never run into it much here. But then we are not in a real 'gangy' part of the city. *calls on Pogo who lives Southside*.
There were a lot of drunk teenies a few years ago at the Burleigh meet but I hear that's pretty much sorted these days.

Nifelium: The meets i've attended in Melbourne have been Southbank/Arts Center and Fitzroy areas. On the whole we haven't had any/many problems with gangs or teenagers or the like. We get the occasional crazy drunk tourist or tramps who have a penchant for causing trouble, but nothing that hasn't been diffused quickly Sorry to hear about your local troubles!

its not that im worried that much just alot of stupid crap has hapned to me in the city (like the time i saved some guys life after he got bashed and thrown into the yarra at southbank.) around the burbs my area in articuler theres a few but im actually out there more with even more mates so they jsut stay away. i usally tend to spin reclusivly in a local storm drain actaully or under a local freeway bridge. no one comes by there and no body can see you. but the city. i feel as though it hates me
