RA,
Can not comment on financials. However, we had two balloons relocate from Alice to Broome, had a ride and it was great.
The pilot advised Broome was great as the landing area was very flat extensive and easy to get to, more importantly because of the tourist season (May-Oct) wind patterns both morning and evening flights were possible. I went on the evening flight and was impressed.
One balloon was a 16 man the other 8 man. Wish you luck and if you are considering Broome message me and I will ensure you get both tourism and resort backup and help. Mike
