Happy Saturday Folks,

Just a reminder that as of COB yesterday, we will no longer be taking bookings or providing a pick up service for flights that are scheduled to arrive at or after 2100 (9pm) at night..

All bookings that have already been made and confirmed, will be honoured. If you have any concerns, feel free to give us a call to discuss. We can organise yard access if required after 9pm, but it will be on a case by case basis and will only be offered to returning customers.

If you book a flight that arrives after 9pm and place it into the diary as arriving before 9pm, we will be contacting you to advise that your booking has been cancelled. If you choose to pay online, we will issue a refund, minus a $20 admin fee. To avoid any embarrassment, please ensure your check out time matches what your booking says.

We thank you for your understanding.

I know a lot of my customers are FIFO workers and a few of you are also out at Phosphate Hill. So if you get the chance to support this, get onboard.
I am good mates with Chuck thru our involvement with the Northern Beaches SUNS AFL Club and I knew Luke, so this is quite personal to me. Mental health doesn't discriminate, it can affect anyone at any time and hopefully this can help raise some funds to help those who are struggling, quite often in silence. Please see below for a few words from Chuck and remember, it aint weak to speak about mental health. 💛💛

Hi All
I would greatly appreciate it if you could help spread the word about an opportunity to support mental health in memory of my amazing son, Luke.
Luke was a young graduate engineer at IPL, who took immense pride in his work at both the Phosphate Hill and Moranbah sites. Tragically, in November 2022, Luke lost his life to mental illness. He was a clever and charismatic young man with a bright future ahead of him.
He is deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
The pain doesn’t stop

Thank you for your support.

Happy Sunday Folks,

For those of you who may not be aware, one of our competitiors here in town has just closed down unexpectedly. This has led to a lot of enquiries and new bookings coming thru in the last 2 weeks. This has meant that changes we had planned for later in the year are now going to be implemented a bit earlier than expected and I Just wanted to jump on here and advise you all of what is happening.

✈️ With the influx of customers from our competitor, available spots are being snapped up. We DO NOT offer permanent spots. If you can book a spot and get a confirmation email, then you have a spot. Please be aware that some people are booking out until January 2027 to ensure they have parking. If you know your travel dates, you can jump on and book ahead. If you dont need that spot, let me know and I can remove it from the system and someone else can use it.

✈️ From Aug 28, we will no longer be working beyond 9pm. We will honour any pre existing bookings already made for times beyond that and as always, if your flight is delayed or changed by the airlines, we will be there to pick you up. However, you will not be able to select after 9pm for check out times. If you are a regular customer, we may be able to give you remote gate access, but it will be on a case by case basis.

✈️ From Oct 31, we will closed every weekend. Once again, pre existing bookings will be honoured, but you will not be able to make new bookings for weekend check in or check outs. Once agaion, If you are a regular customer, we may be able to give you remote gate access, but it will be on a case by case basis. There may be changes or alterations to this, especially for the Christmas/New year period. Please call us if you have any concerns.

✈️ We know these changes wont please everyone, but we hope you can appreciate why these changes are being made. We never anticipated how busy we would get with this business in such a short time. Early mornings (which the wonderful boss lady does a lot of the time, even with her own full time job) and some really late nights thanks to constant delays are starting to drain the mind and body. We get a lot of comments saying we need to employ someone and that may be an option in the future, but for now, its not something that is viable for us to do

We want to thank all of of fantastic customers for their support and as always, if you need to check availability, or are unsure if these changes are going to affect you, then please give us a call to discuss.

Cheers, Eric and Rach

As much as i dislike getting up early, every now and then the early mornings throw you an absolute cracker of a sunrise. Today was one of those mornings. Its a pity all the light poles from the business across the road spoil it. 🫤🌅
Happy Monday folks, have a great week.

Hi Folks,

Apparently there is some sort of nationwide issue affecting the Telstra network. at the moment, we are unable to receive calls/texts from anyone using Telstra and it could also be affecting online payments.
If you have any concerns regarding bookings, please send us an email and we will try to get it sorted.

Apologies, but its out of our control.

Cheers.

An outage on Telstra’s network is causing chaos across Australia, impacting public transport in several states and potentially millions of customers.

Good evening folks,
Well, the last few weeks have been a bit crazy for us. Just when we think the bookings are going to be down for the month, we get a rush on and end up being flat out.
That being said, we are in need of a break. So from September 3-6, we will be away having a quick break to recharge the batteries before the end of year craziness commences.
If youre a regular who needs parking for that time period, please contact us and we can organise something around our days away. The only thing we wont be able to offer, is airport drop-offs and pick ups.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused. For those of you who are already booked in during that time, we'll be in contact over the coming days, to ensure you're aware of our plans and help with organising transfers to the airport on those days.

I've met a few sporting stars since we started the business, but its always nice when the dad of one of them, is a valued customer. Big thanks to Val Holmes for taking the time for a few pics today. Not only a legend, but a nice guy as well. This guy has pretty much done it all in his career.

Hi Folks,
Just a quick post to let you know that if you require a booking for Apr 1st, you will need to give us a call and confirm your travel times as our calendar is locked and we will be unavailable for any drop offs or pick ups after 6pm that night.
No, this isnt an early April Fools joke, its because our own April Fool celebrates his 18th birthday on Weds and we are going out for a family celebration. 🎂🍻❤️
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Name something that wasn't on your Bingo card for the day...

For me, it was getting back to the yard at0630 after a drop off, trying to ensure a family of either big ducks or geese and their babies didn't get squished on the road, only for one of them to assault me, halfway across the road. 🫤🦆

They hit hard with those wings. 😵‍💫

So much for being a good Samaritan. 🤣🤦‍♂️

Hi Folks,

So a couple of weeks ago we had a customer, who last used us in July last year come in and advise me that he believes his batteries were stolen when his vehicle was parked here.
He has since left us a scathing 1 star review and basically accused me of theft and siad I put them in my boat (I wish I had a boat, or more importantly, time to take a boat out fishing)
Just to be clear with all our customers, we dont open your bonnets unless we need to. The only time we do is in the event that we need to move your car and it has a flat battery. This has left a bitter taste in my mouth today, but I've posted the review and my reply below, so you can make your own decisions.

Cheers, Eric
