I was up there last month, it is abandoned, ATSIC stopped propping it up with.."who's" money..
apparently was initially built by the bush pilots association, then was ..sold..taken over.. by indigenous people, but never seemed to make a buck, eventually the money dried up, a fire did go through the generating plant and workshop, a few damaged vehicls there, but a lot of environmental pollution from when it was operational too,
That upper area of the cape is known as PAJINKA, and is such a eyesore and a terrible and unmanaged sight for our domestic and international tourists. Where's the EPA on this one????
I wouldn't worry about any vandals with 4wd's mate, the place was vandalised long b4 it even shut shop.
