    Don't know Middlemount so take what I say with a grain of salt.

    Seems a little small for me (N.B. Using Wikipedia figures – so disclaimer applies).

    Would also need to check banks willingness to lend in Middlemount. Some banks have aversions to certain postcodes.

    Nothing else to add – sorry.

    Thanks Derek yes size my concern also it’s a service town for several mines
    German Creek
    Central Colliery
    Foxleigh
    Southern Colliery
    Middlemount Mine
    Bundoora

    as far as the NAB is concerned they will lend there on a 80% emerald looks like a better option however I haven’t found the returns as high as Middlemount Dysart Moranbah.

    my main concern is that a lot of the mine workers are housed in camps, and the lease of less then 12 months which says the company can pull out at the end of lease and I’ll be stuck with a huge debt and no renters.

    I thought a few people here may work there or own property in the area.

    Back To The Drawing Board.

    Know what you are saying – just doing some feasibilitty on a WA mining town for investors with ~17% return. Making sure the fundamentals are all right first.

    So far looking good.
