I worked on that station many years ago flying with another mate of mine...and can vouch for the attitude of the property owner/s....we were up there to fly and fly only, and were totally seperate from the station runnings, and to be told we were bludgers because we wouldnt wash 100+dishes in the morning after breakfast due to the fact we had bus loads of flyers to attend to drew the line, from there on in we were told to provide our own meals but could have dinner at an rather inflated price!!

mind you the helicopter company that leases the helipad pays a mighty good dollar to do so and, cant even get simple power to the huts the pilots live in doesnt surprise me at all...im sure others who have worked there agree sad, but hey we all needed the hours back then!
