you could do a lot worse mate.

it's basic but not bad, used to be the place of choice to stay in damps back in the day.

yeah mate not bad, pretty good food for a camp

Thanks Brad, I was hoping they had a web site or similar to give an idea or what the had bit I cant find much, Hope I can plug in my laptop in the room or have wireless internet.

Cheers

Dale perhaps these are questions that should have been asked of your employer.   Enjoy the NW experience, I started there many, many years ago.

And no Penny Palms are not dodgy, probably better than some and of course worse than others. jmo.

Thanks Alan, My employer, Hayes Energy, didn't know much either so it's gonna be a wait and see I guess.

Cheers

you will at least have ADSL mate, shell be right

Thanks Brad, yeah ADSL will be good, just need to find a lead to plug in to the wall.

Cheers

atleast your not stuck in the feral cesspit down the road(just joking)..

Alot of my work mates stayed there, they said the squidding from the rocks just out the front of sweaty palms was awesome some monsters out there they said.

good luck!

and spanglies off the rocks at night as well !!!

cant be as bad as sea ripple :P

try kangaroo hill camp nothing like waking up to the sound of trains shunting and looking at iron ore stockpiles.

if basic, but livable. You are there to work, not have a holiday - besides you are not in there much other than to shower and sleep anyway.

If its like the Sea Ripple or Bay village etc, then the internet can be bloody expensive - it may be cheaper to get your own from telstra, but that is for you to weigh up.

the old poon bro's camp K-town. Those were the days. Could knock back as many as ya liked after work no one give a shit but it did cause the odd blue or two. Yer nothing like a fight in da camp for entertainment.

last time I was up in Karratha, my cousin was at the Sea Ripple and they had closed the wet mess because of a drunken punch-up and weren't sure if they were going to re-open it!

Doesn't stop people buying there own grog and smashing it back in their rooms though....

Just gave them a ring and yes, it sounds very basic. No internet, so I'll have to chase up something for that. No foxtel, struth, how will I survive?? Curtains in some rooms, so it will be interesting to see how I go sleeping for night shifts. They have a gym of sorts which was one of my questions, and they are a pub, so we'll have to see what the noise etc is like after hours. Might have to tee up something better as it's costing close on $200 a night for my employer.

you'd be better off renting a house and sub letting a room or 2! You could rent a room out for $500/week or thereabouts - it'll offset the $1500/week rent.

Unless you have a bus and other employees etc that are serviced and picked up for work staying at the Palms?

If they give you a car, I reckon that'd be the best option.
