They seem to have gone quiet on that, must make some enquiries with my mate who lives on the island, at Bulwar, he may have heard something. BTW, my rear drawers arrive next week, no house painting then!, Bob

don't hold your breath..........the locals don't seem to think its anytime soon.

the biggest issues is getting a third landing permit and the appropriate environmental approval. micat were supposed to continue a service from scarborough as part of the deal however stopped shortly after due to environmental concern........I suppose all the locals will have different stories and views, this is just one

price increase can only be a good thing....less people travelling over in peak times.

Yeah, you are right. The only people who know would be the regulators I guess. I'll have to go back to the old way, wait for a high over the area, take the tinnie over at daybreak. keep an eye on the high, come back at daybreak before the southerly picks up. You need a local with weather on the tv. Wouldn't be the first time I've crapped myself trying to get back to cabbage tree. That's why we invented rum. Bob
