Freckle, Mark and BoughtWithEquity thanks for your replies.  I  thought the same, but my investment adviser has told me that I should invest in areas that will potentially give you captial growth and if the returns are good then thats a bonus. After reading about the downturn in Muswellbrook we were questionjng his decision as I believe there is a good chance that the prices could soften in the area. 

This is the first time I have ever used a forum to get advise and  I would like to again thank everyone for their input.
