Take heart - at least it’s been made

We just signed the contract on the sale of our house.
It took 7 months to sell and we got exactly $1 Million less than they said we would before the world went crazy.
$1 Million we never had so we never lost it.
Settles on 6th October.
looks like I can now pay cash for my Grenadier again.

Prices up there were spruiked so hard by lying agents it makes me still laugh. My old man was told the 'same' thing that his house could sell for XXXXXXXXXX dollars and yet the highest price achieved even at peak in his Sub was $90K less than what the door knocking agent was saying, and that top value sale was for a house with 2x extra bedrooms and double the land!

I am glad you got cash and that is also what we are doing - cash for Gren! No debt! Means we can spend more on 'addons' and not feel guilty!

I know nothing

 

[Kilchoman]

Please explain ?
Edit. 10.7 kn so I guess Devonport, would that be right? Bit radical?

 

[Davman]

Maybe they have worked outs it’s quicker to drop the cars off In Devonport, and then put them back on one of the two smaller freight RoRo’s that dock everyday at their own designated dock in Melbourne. Great idea.

Traviata scheduled to dock in Melb on the 20th Sept.

22nd Now

Yes agreed. Not just the direct cost of any delay but what this would do to future schedules for Traviata customers. Going to be interesting as to what comes next?

Gee I hope this is correct.

Maybe they’re all boycotting Victoria as a state too hard to do business with. It wouldn’t be unjustified.

Sounds like you have some personal experience here big fella.

So where goes Traviata today?

It looks like Melbourne is so congested that they are starting to ask vessels to “park and wait” over near Tasmania. There are currently 5 RoRo’s just north of Devonport waiting to get into the Port of Melbourne.
