I had a client based in Melbourne, but with an office in Canberra. I used to get sent there for day jobs occasionally. I rather liked those missions. I was paid from the minute I left home until I got back, and they paid for everything (meals etc).

It’s a neat thing about working in Melbourne that I do miss. It’s so close to Sydney and Canberra. Fly for two hours from Perth, you might have left the state. Just.
