Buying a Hangar..

Bindoon would be handy to Perth but we live in RAAF east sale  airspace here and you have to wait till they knock off on Friday before you can go for a fly.  You don't want that.

No, it's not just rivalry between families in Northam, it's a hotbed of crime with constant thieving, drug dealing and assaults. The W.A. Police have just ramped up their numbers in Northam, because the crims thought nothing of bashing police every chance they got. The crime rate in Northam has been soaring for 6 years, and the W.A. Police are just crowing now, about how they've got it to come down a bit.

 

If you think I don't know what I'm talking about, let me tell you, I have 5 family members who are/were in the police force here, my nephew has a big industrial property at Grass Valley, just East of Northam, and despite 24 hr security, his business got broken into, and the thieves stole thousands of dollars worth of computer equipment and other equipment. It was a local gang. Businesses in Northam are broken into frequently, and car theft levels are high in Northam.

 

My stepson went out with a policewoman for a while, who told him she was getting a transfer to Northam, because it was a "high risk" zone where police got rotated out of quickly, and which meant an improved chance of promotion. It didn't work out for her, the crims beat the crap out her, and she ended up in hospital with major injuries.

 

I parked in a carpark in town near a public toilet a few years back, because my missus wanted to go to the toilet. I wondered why she was taking so long. When she got back to the car, she was scared and angry.

Two suntanned juveniles around 15 or 16 followed her into the womens toilet and started posing highly suggestive questions to her, asking her how "she'd like it up the a**e?" They kept up their line of questioning, brazen as they come, in a womans toilet! You can often find the scumbags hiding in cubicles, waiting for women to come in.

 

She was absolutely sh****** herself at the threat posed by these juveniles, and she locked herself in a cubicle until they left. This is not an uncommon occurrence, you keep up your guard near any public toilets, and watch where you go at night in Northam.

No doubt there'll be an element of risk in most communities but hopefully most of us never encounter it. Any city or town with a high indigenous population usually run into problems. There's reluctance from the police to arrest and deal with the perpetrators. Their instructions must come from up the line but there's clear racial prodigious against Caucasian offenders and therefore the indigenous offenders run riot with street drinking and antisocial behaviour allowed to carry on unchecked.

Sounds like a kid obsessed with flying. Or are you saying Northam criminals are also experienced pilots.  Tyabb airfield is near Frankston and hastings. You can times your wa crime by 100 to get to the crime levels around there. Tyabb has no problems. Same with Latrobe valley and Shepparton. 

As I said before the locals at the airfield are the people to talk to.
