accom in kununurra
 
I will be arriving in town next week and was wondering if any ppruners had some leads.

If anyone knows of a room for rent or a share in house/unit I would be very grateful. I have swag so empty room or a bit of floor would be fine. Feel free to drop a pm if you know of anything going.

Thanks

Anybody?

I have a job, clean the skidmarks off the toilet after me, put the lid back on the toothpaste, pay rent in advance etc, etc.

AVOID DEALING WITH THE REAL ESTATE AGENTS AT ALL COSTS

If you cant avoid it, NEVER tell them you are a pilot. Make up some half-truth. Also remove dead giveaways like massive watch, raybans etc :}

Too add to Disco's words of wisdom about the revolting real estate agent you'll be able to spot her becuase she:
  • has an ass like J-Lo
  • thinks that she's hot stuff because she's "a real-estate agent"
  • can't put a sentence together without some form of profanity, well at least not when I asked her if there were any places available for rent...
As Disco said, don't mention the pilot bit, try and dress like a local and say your a tradie....

As Tipan mentioned Neil might be able to help you out... last time I saw him pfella was alon da short grass on um Mezzmate ehy! so try there if you can't find him at Chicken Treat.:ok:

Going back a long way, but....
 
..... when I was there we lived in a house in the Uniting Church compound. We had the Fire Station siren tested every Saturday at 10am on one side and the happy-clappy baptists on the other rockin' fer jeeesus on the other each Sunday.

Was a revolving door there with Alligator, Ord Air, Belray and Wannabe passing through over the two years. ya can only ask!

Good luck.


.... oh an you still gottim one-arm-Ethel up dere? Puk she lub me in back ob Big Whaaat Taxi, eh... :ouch:

Neck up,

Mate accommodation in kunners can be a real bast@rd. Plenty of guys have done entire seasons living at the backpackers, in a caravan, and even some poor blokes who logged some serious tent time. The coles notice board often has ads for share houses, worth a try.

Disco,

Come on mate, you were there long enough to know you can pick a pilot in kunners a mile off no matter what dodgy lie they are pulling (“yeah I’m a mine engineer / tradie from Argyle” :rolleyes: ). 20 something y/o male with short hair, wearing clothes that aren’t available from Target Country, getting out of a car that isn’t a cruiser tray back is a bit of a give away. Failing that when you are seen standing ‘round the Tav in a group of 20 other guys that look exactly the same, your fate is sealed!

Who is feeding Neil wing dings these days? Has someone given him a jumper for the dry season?

Thanks for the help - coles notice board it is

cheers
