Thanks for the forum post on Port Hedland. I have been through there a couple of times and have had family members work and live there, so I found that post very funny – a good laugh.
I myself choose to live in Darwin, moved here almost 30 years ago to get away from the cold, miserable, dreary Melbourne winters. While we do have some very humid weather here for a couple of months each year, when the rains come you can smell the trees being washed, you can see the place turn green, the steam rises from the bitumen and the rain cools everything down. The lifestyle here is easy going and I love living in Darwin and wouldn’t swap it for anywhere else.
Happy New Year to all

Hello Deb
I was interested to read through all the posts re your potential deal. I was looking at a commercial property around the same price in a mining town in the NT some months ago which was being sold by the owner – no agent. The returns looked great. The guy wanted to retire but he was evasive about details that I questioned him on and so I rang the mining company and the town shire and got some interesting information which lead to loads more questions. The main thing that turned me against the property was that it was on indigenous land that was leased to the mining company and the lease was due for renewal – so that meant that I would not own the land and I was not sure how long the lease would continue with the mining company.
