Settlement date on 11/12, tug already purchased (still trying to sell the Falcon) van due 15/12 and got a work contract until 20/12 so I hope everything starts w...

Read an interesting newsletter from a friend today. They have been in Broome for five years and they say tourism has gone downhill over those 5 years. Shops are closing. Economic downturn because the gas people are not allowed. Maybe there will be some spots in those caravan parks for everyone now.
