They are prepared to work a Dubbo return - 0645 sign on, 2107 sign off - 14
hours 20 mins total, serving three meals. Surely a Grafton to Meeks Road
would not be too onerous.

almost 11 hours, which with the sign on and sign off times, makes for a
shift of 11 hours 6 mins (according to a PSS friend).

No argument there. That is why I only mentioned NT1/2 and NT3/4, rather than
ST1/4 and ST3/2.
