Being an ex resident of the swamp, I was wondering if anyone else who reads this forum resided their at the pinical of their career’s.

I lived there with a mate who I haven’t seen or heard of for about 25 years back in about 93/94. We even got robbed whilst living there probably by the land owners - just to prepare me for my transition to PNG🤡 a few years later.

i never worked for Ord Air nor did my house mate, however they gave us a good rate on the house as it was a pilot’s house.

Is it still there for those in KNX? I can’t remember the address other than to say that it wasn’t in the top end of town.

Cheers,
PLUGGA

Not sure about the KNX house but lived in the Wyndham Swamp on Minderoo Street and the Derby swamp on Howell street swamp, Maxine charged us $35 a week in rent - no complaints. Was recently back in Wyndham for the first time in nearly 20 years - hasn't changed a bit.

No complaints no doubt because the nurses' quarters were over the road!
