Cheap fuel

97.9c/litre here in Darwin and I thought we were being ripped off considering the bleep quality of the fuel coming over from Indo.

Rocky sounds pretty good to me too.

Bruce,

I'm guessing you mean "want". Do you really "want" to go down that path, hopefully it's just friendly banter, if not then it's pretty narrow thinking. Yeppoon and surrounds is extemely overrated at the prices it now commands. Just wait for a few typical summers and let's see how many of the investors that have swamped the market start to move back out, or when they find they can't rent them out as the population growth in this area is netural.

Not really sticking up for the town but your comments could be misread by travelers to the area. Rocky is a hub for the regional area with some of the cheapest prices for just about everything. Plus a central location to visit some of the tourist sites including, Blackdown NP, Gem Fields, Mt Morgan gold mine, State forests, 5 Rocks, etc, etc oohh and the beach.

:-)

Hi,

I do live here, and lived in the local area since I was born. Have previously invested substantially in the area (bad move). So know the area quite well. Your right you didn't say Yeppoon was that great just an assumption (shouldn't assume). Also know the investment climate in both R'ton and the coast very well and expect the crash to happen quite soon. Pity because some will loss a lot and the media and realestates are still talking up the area. No growth, no major investment, no tourism, no wealth, drought, no government support, uni about to fall over etc, etc, etc, etc. Pretty sad really as the whole area has a lot to offer.
