Thread: Broome - MMmmm - Should I?

YEP DO IT!!!!
Broome is a nice place.I realy like the place!!!
Would give me a nice stopover joint when I travel up to Derby to go Barra fishing with my good mate Derby Dan

It seems so far from anywhere though.

(Which I guess is a pro for me but perhaps not for Mrs and kids)

What Andy said...

I was offered a job there 'over the phone' late last year and knocked it back - I've regretted it ever since, but the issue I had was I needed to find my own accommodation and the rent was going to cost me most of what I would have been earning (as I'm not real 'speshkle' ).

So depending on what the $ and accommodation package is for the job...get that application off!
Cheers

Broome's great, but you are going to have to like heat and humidity to live in the top end all year round and the buildup (Sept-Nov) is the worst time of the year.

I'm headed there for work this monday. Will let you know what I think when I get back.

A colleague went there 6 months ago. Last I spoke to her she said she is never coming back - she likes the lifestyle too much.

Rent is $$$, but apart from that it is an amazing, idylic lifestyle. Compared to Syd/Melb it will be tiny, but if you like fishing or touring the kimberleys then...

Surely SWMBO and the teens can be sold on the world class resorts?

There is a VERY good brewery there:
Matso's Broome Brewery - Western Australia

its a great place but like a few people have said make sure your accomidation is sorted because its expencive.

Are you going up there for the gas project?

I might look in to going to broome in a little bit myself

Thanks guys, I need this encouragement.

Mentioned it to the missus last night...

"How'd ya like to go an live in Broome?", I said.
"In an instant" she said - thinking I was full of the usual.

Seems the stickin' point now is Miss Sleepy who has just finished VCE (HSC for you non-mexicans) and lookin to go to uni.

Ideas??
