The Busselton Mayor is funnier tho all this talk of airport expansion and domestic flights even international flights.... Rofl
Oi hear that the Busselton 'neighbours' don't like the NOISE either ......so Oi hear!!!
The 0700(?) curfew lift is somewhat of an issue for "expansion"
Mustn't have those noisy air-o-planes frightening the horses and putting the cows off their milk. A certain large mining company has been running F100 charters direct to some Pilbara sites for a numbers of years now--those Busso commuters have it made, outbound, not departing until 0800
-- gentlemans hours.
On a slightly more serious note, I attended a gathering in Albany just two weeks ago--A Dragonair captain was with us, and his wife flew down on the Saturday morning due to committments in Perth on Friday--she described the trip as an "enjoyable scenic"
The total elapsed time, as a previous poster pointed out, really takes the gloss off the flying option, particularly as the drive down is far from unpleasant.
