Towns west of the coast in Nth Qld in the Bowen basin are probably at there peak almost.
Most of the miners that live there don't pay the rent, there company does.

Towns such as Mackay, Rockhampton  & Gladstone are where most miners family's live.
Nth Qld has only a small amount of fly in fly out workers as there is a large labour pool in the coast areas.

There is still plenty of growth on the coast and less restrictions.

Its almost like a half bet ( Towns like this although growing with the boom are not just reliant on coal )
Where as Moranbah would fall out tomorrow if coal prices drop.

Good news… Development and infrastructure is slowly winding down but is still happening. New mines for 08 , 09 , 10 
have been moving through feasibility stages quicker as coal prices soar.
