So im a crane technician, glorified diesel mechanic in Australia.

And i have flown arouns the country to get to a shitty little place called whyalla. Took me 4 flights to get here darwin to alice, alice to Melbourne, Melbourne to Adelaide. Missed my connection. Then the next day Adelaide to whyalla.

I have no idea whays the cause of the fault on the crane and currently no real idea on my next steps. But its 2000 and im in some shit restaurant at my accommodation and ive been here half an hour trying to get a feed so i can go to bed and do another 13 houra tomorrow. Because i want to go home Monday.

The hell is your flight itinerary? Are there no direct flights from Darwin to Adelaide?

Yeah but not that day presumably because it was booked last minute

Fair call. Hope your flight back is more direct mate.
