Nothings changed then
When i was at Karratha in 86, a two bedroom townhouse cost nearly $400 per week. The locals couldnt compete.
There was a good discussion on local radio last night here re
the "flyin flyout" offers being made to get people to move west
but when they see what the cost of moving and living is,
they say no thanks. Its only a small percentage getting the big bucks
but they sure earn it.
On a side note, i remember a quote made by ( Bondy i think )
after everything crashed back then.
It was pointed out to them that WA was a basket case etc etc etc
by an "east coast" reporter.
He quipped, something like
"We're both down the drain. We had a party, what have you got to show for it??"
Gotta luv that attitude

Wonder what would happen if China stopped buying?
Not IF but when. I guess there will be a lot of people unemployed.

PS Can you still get spares for your D9 at the local corner shops?????
