TomHOST
Oh, yeah.
TomHOST
And East Coast to Broome.
TomHOST
And both of those routes or both of the routes from anywhere on the East Coast to there are actually MRG subsidized by the Western Australia state government.
TomHOST
And let's say, I don't know the particulars, but as an example, let's say someone like Qantas flying Sydney to Broome.
TomHOST
they go, right, well, we expect to turn a profit or to at least break even on this route, we would need to probably generate, I don't know, $12 million over the course of a six-month period.
TomHOST
If they get to the end of that six month period and passenger ASKs are low enough that it hasn't met that 12 mil and have only made 10 mil, then the state of WA has agreed to make up the two mil difference so that the Qantas is still walking away with the minimum 12 mil.
KyraGUEST
I originally moved here because I've been bouncing around the top end for a little while now between Cairns.
KyraGUEST
I lived in Broome and I was looking for my next place to go.
KyraGUEST
And Broome was a little bit more expensive than Kununurra was.
KyraGUEST
Yeah.
KyraGUEST
I made the jump across the Kimberley over to Kununurra and it's been the best decision yet.
KyraGUEST
So I just followed that through.
KyraGUEST
I then worked in the industry after I finished for a couple of years at different companies in Adelaide, Cairns and then Brisbane.
KyraGUEST
Then I kept moving to small regional towns like Broome and Kununurra.
HarryHOST
But then I got the broom and I decided, no, this is where I want to be.
Jimmy BearGUEST
Are you in Broome, are you?
HarryHOST
No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh.
HarryHOST
No, no, no. I'm in Melbourne.
HarryHOST
Yeah, that's what I thought, yeah.
HarryHOST
But, look, if I had the choice, I would be in Broome.
HarryHOST
Yeah, yeah, Broome's beautiful.
HarryHOST
You know, I just fell in love with the place.
Marilee McNeilisGUEST
Okay.
Marilee McNeilisGUEST
I've actually collected some in Broome.
John BradshawHOST
Broome, not many people know where Broome is.
John BradshawHOST
In fact, if you Google the middle of nowhere, Broome comes up, I think.
John BradshawHOST
It's way out there, isn't it?
Marilee McNeilisGUEST
It is, but it's a fantastic place.
John BradshawHOST
Yeah, and does Broome's location, isolated on the northwestern coast of Australia, does that lend itself in some way to being a great shell destination?
Marilee McNeilisGUEST
Well, there's a lot of good species of shells.
ShirleyGUEST
[lacht] Tatsächlich einfaches Ja gewesen.
LouHOST
Und ich dachte, da wir ja auch, bevor wir wieder nach Hause geflogen sind, mal kurz auch in 'ner Folge darüber gesprochen haben, wie das denn so werden könnte und wie's denn so ist, jetzt Australien verlassen zu müssen und auch so Tschüss zu sagen in Broome und so diese ganzen Sachen, dass man ja jetzt mal darüber quatschen könnte, wie's denn jetzt so ist, wenn man auf einmal nach bei mir zwei, bei dir drei Jahren Reisen wieder zu Hause ist und jetzt auch erst mal 'n bisschen länger zu Hause ist.
ShirleyGUEST
Ja, das ist auch 'n interessantes Thema.
ShirleyGUEST
Also auch 'n achterbahniges Thema, wie man so schön sagt.
28 MINS LATER
ShirleyGUEST
Ich will auch gar nicht.
ShirleyGUEST
Ich will jetzt grade einfach wirklich so hierbleiben und so 'n bisschen Stabilität hier aufbauen.
ShirleyGUEST
Und ich glaube, wär ich im Endeffekt doch in Broome geblieben und hätte diesen Roadtrip nicht gemacht, wo man jetzt so sagt, ich hab mindestens 70 % des Landes eigentlich oder was man, also vielleicht nicht des Landes, aber von den Sachen, die man so im, im Australien sehen wollen würde, eigentlich gesehen.
ShirleyGUEST
So, ich hab noch mal so 'n richtig geilen Roadtrip gemacht, super viel gesehen, super viel erlebt, noch mal so das Land auch erkundet und bin nicht nur einfach wieder nach Broome zurückgegangen und hab da gearbeitet.

Franziska CurranHOST
Absolutely.
Franziska CurranHOST
So moving on, there's some exciting news from Western Australia, where the backers of a proposed huge new clean energy powered data center that could be built near Broome have started the process of seeking environmental approval.
Franziska CurranHOST
The Project Meridian Data Center and Clean Energy Project is really interesting for four reasons.
Franziska CurranHOST
The first is its scale.
Dalisa PigramGUEST
