nothing worth reporting keith, are your boys putting their names down at the abattoir, good stable jobs there now the CSG and coal industry have busted?

 

last week I received a pamphlet from them telling me how good business is going, so its going great.

 

Wagners are on the news going on about building airports in PNG and Northern WA and other places where people don't live. They may have found a niche business here, building airports in places where people don't use them

Of course building an airport right next to one that is already being used would make heaps more sense

But isn't that what is happening in Brisbane?

 

 

[GAFA]

The 1900D that was based there for charter work has gone back to Adelaide, so I guess the charter work never took off.

well yes but

There are good Stable jobs in the Horse Racing Industry, but you have to get up early to have one. Nev

first 747F to land at wellcamp

[facthunter]

Perhaps it will be the first of many. Has to be good news for the region. Nev

 

 

[fly_tornado]

you should invest some of your fortune in a freight hangar

 

 

[facthunter]

I don't have one, but land around the boundary might be OK for those who do. Nev

 

 

[fly_tornado]

to put this in context, 12,000 trucks pass through Toowoomba on an average day

 

 

[fly_tornado]

how good is that, a clean runway without all those hangars cluttering the view

Great day for Australia, it's taking a tonne of Inverell meat to Hong Kong

Also from Oakey and Dinmore west of Brisbane. Seems like an excellent idea carting freight up the range through Toowoomba to freight it to Hong Kong.

 

 

[fly_tornado]

I reckon the Wagners would have spent a packet on today, huge media presence. Will be interesting to see if they can get more flights out of there.

 

 

[Keith Page]

but F_T that is all export dollars and the only way is up.

 

In the trade game every journey starts with a small step, just wonder where it all will end up.

 

Regards,
