Thanks D,

Great to hear that your situation is working well. I have been hearing a few wispers about unit trusts, maybe that is the way things should be set up? Has anyone had any experiences with these, is this the answer to setting up a partnership?

I think the marina development you are refering to is Newport Quays in Port Adelaide. I guess it would be regarded as inland as you have to access it via the Port River. They have a website where you can check out the plan.

I know there is also one being built at Port Wakefield but that is right on the sea.

Hope that helps.

Also, to what extent do you rely on this data? As Steve says research is critical and I would hate to make a large financial decision without…[Read more]
