Broome wharf
We were tied up to the Broome Wharf and a cattle transporter was on the other side and they were fishing big time. Getting some beauties but I'm not sure what they were, a couple however were queenies which you can't mistake. I seen a monster of a grouper come up as well chasing one of the fish they caught. it was huge..

its a floating palace
compared to some of the shite oil rigs I have worked on around the world this thing is a beast. The bridge is bigger in floorspace than my house and I'm not shitting you. There is even a lift in it that goes up 7 levels from the main deck to the bridge. Its awesome for pie eaters like me.

We've got a team on the Prelude that's being towed from South Korea. Interesting to see if they can fish from that.

I sincerely doubt it, the enviro impact studies are so severe now that you need to fill out a form just to fart.
Job I was just on in Darwin canned last week, enviro permit withdrawn...
Think you'll find its only the rigs that have been there "forever"

Right on Johnf
I wouldn't like to be on it in any real decent storm, I think it would rock and roll quite heavily.
