Hi,

What were some of the caveats?? I'd imagine they'd be quite broad.

Thanks for the reply Pete

Likewise we love the place and the people. We nearly went back again about the time you were up there but went to to the Kimberley instead. We're now sorry we didn't. I won't repeat what SWMBO just said upon hearing that it was on the market. Very unlady like. She is also convieniently forgetting that I had suggested we go back there but she was the one that said lets go somewhere new (ie the Kimberly - were also had a great time). Oh well thats life.

Austravel asked what the caveats were. I'd also be interested. I had heard a storey that in a few years (can't remember how many) the lease expires and the land reverts to local ownership.

Was Bat (the jet sky guy) & Sal still there?

Thanks heaps. Amazing how things can change in a year. Gary & Sue seemed pretty entrenched at Punsand. I quess the uncertainty got to them. Glad to know where they are now. We will definately pay a visit, even though we generally steer clear of luxury 5 star accomodation. I remember when we were last there, sitting at the bar with Bat while he dreamed of buying a boat and starting a charter business. Glad to hear his dream came true. Sounds like he's still in his shack at Punsand and therefore runs his charter boat from there. Am I guessing right here? Any details would be appreciated.

Thanks again

Roger
