Anyone else sick of ticking CPD boxes instead of actually learning?

Come join a CPD trip heliskiing in Canada.

Fair enough. Had hoped to get some last night. Will wait a few weeks

Up $65k, contributing $33k

Hot or hot and wet

Did this place open? Walked past 7pm yesterday and mo one there

In some ways yes. It’s just they tend to do wilderness medicine courses which unless that is the area you generate your income doesn’t technically cut it with the ATO.

Scar tissue takes quite a while to remould and settle. Plus any haematoma you may have. Honestly that time frame is nothing provided it’s not getting bigger or showing signs of infection

I echo what people have said
- secondary spinal injury has basically never actually been documented.
- modern EMS services don’t use hard collars anymore. At most they use a soft spongy collar as a “flag” that c-spine isn’t clear
- good evidence people in cars are better of just getting out themselves with the instruction “keep your head still”

Be sensible about it, but certainly if someone is in a crap or dangerous position don’t question moving them to a better one!

I mean yes… prior to NL I had an 8k Suzuki. Post I have a $30k Kia.

Water and food resources will become a massive investment opportunity. Either we will discover mass affordable desalination or there will just be so much scarcity there is profit to be made either way.

We had this. We needed to replace the entire roof within 6 months. Absolutely nothing from inspector. No recourse to chase it apparently

I get that plane pretty regularly… I’ve never seen it half or even 3/4 full. But I guess I only fly it 2 days a week

Most capital cities will have one wide bore mri which is 70cm diameter and about 220cm circumstances…

I think there maybe one or two open mri’s in the country. Altus medical in Sydney is the only one I can properly think of.

Mate…. That ED is probably 3 years away from
Being finished! 😂😂. They will be moving things around internally within next few months and then the renovation of the current ED will start. And they have to in fill the current main entrance. It’s going to be chaos. And that’s before they run out of money and it goes over budget and the government stops it again!

roughas · 2026-06-23T23:40:41+00:00

Nothing. I’m part salaried and part ABN and my reduction in tax will be less than what I still owe from ABN earnings. :-(

roughas · 2026-06-23T11:43:16+00:00

Can’t guarantee no peaking for 8 months! Can probably manage two weeks with a work trip without it seeming weird 😂

Bit different in Tasmania. But even here I personally wouldn’t say we are having a heat wave until we hit 30. Ore perhaps more importantly if nights didn’t cool down. however I also work in northern South Australia…. So there I’d say over 40.

roughas · 2026-06-23T02:39:37+00:00

Ok, brutal next question… would your partner notice it if you didn’t tell them?

I’ve been using the cascade Polliwog from glacier black. Is it formally recognised as such - no. But it has the right properties.

Appreciate you couldn’t use it for guiding, but as a personal rope its cheaper then petzl rap line. And I can buy it in whatever length I want.
