Hi Ben,

Freckle is right….don't let distance reduce your choices of professionals that will assist you in moving forward. 

My MB, who contributes to this forum, and my accountant are both interstate and everything is done by email and phone although it is a great excuse to get up to Queensland!

It's interesting that right throughout the recent volatility the coal industry has experienced, GVK has continued to maintain a cool head and been confident in their ability and the demand/supply factors to continue to bring this behemoth project closer to fruition.  

Now that Aurizon has reportedly agreed to maintain a 51% stake in the…[Read more]

Just interested to gauge what you think you get for your money ?

Hey Charles 1,
I had not so good feeling about them about the way they entice new members, very good in marketing that's for sure.  I've attended one of their free seminar in Parramatta NSW  about a month ago. If they try to sell you something then they are only looking after themselves. I bet you, their mentors keep growing their…[Read more]

Hi Richard,

I was thinking about you whilst watching the events up in Brisbane and I'm relieved you and the family are safe and well.

Fantastic to see you able to see the light side of things….

Which reminds me about our conversation during the sweltering heat just a week or two ago. If you remember I suggested you bring some of that…[Read more]

100% Tony……

I've been watching the footage on the tele at work today and it's absolutely gut wrenching to see such devastation again. It looks like the state government and emergency agencies learnt from the tragic events that unfolded in the 2011 floods and the response has been swift and appears to be comprehensive.  

In relation to…[Read more]

Good times, good times….especially in winter!

Glad to see you guys missed me. Shale oil isn't anything to get too excited about. It'll take them 10 years or more to get the stuff out of the ground if ever. Lotsa hurdles. Sorry guys. Nothing to see here. Move along please.

Lol you crack me up Freckle…..

I worked in the Parramatta area for several years. I think Harris Park is a good area because it's close to the Parramatta CBD and has very strong transport infrastructure including its own train station. Parramatta has developed incredibly quickly in the time I spent there most noticeably apartment development however, there is population growth…[Read more]

Hi Tony,

CMS,

The newest mine being built near Moranbah (Caval Ridge) will have a 100% FIFO workforce. Vacancy rates are over 7% for the town. Rental prices have lowered dramatically to secure tenants, while purchase prices are still high. Unless you already have property there then I would be looking elsewhere.
