Yeah I agree Poita!
I hate hearing these things too but can also tell you they are true.
I worked up noth in Borroloola for years with another comany and use to watch what these poor guys who were based in the loo go though.
GA is tuff but this was shocking. I use to watch one of there guys have to walk the 3km from the company house to the airport every day (yes even in the wet season). Had to himself end up finding a bike to pedal to the airport after a few weeks.
One time it was flooded in the loo and cut the roads (quite literally) Solution, from the boss. he was told and had to! sleep in the office at the a-port for a week. Yes true story.
