A quick email was sent, and replied to from Pronto, to ensure all was understood and arrangements in place.

Read moreAs a FIFO worker flying in and out of Port Hedlad, Pronto Apartments in Tuart Hill makes great sense. Offered are clean self contained apartments with plenty of parking and free WIFI. Close to amenities such as cafes, restaurants, hairdressers, a dentist, chemist, butchers, PO and not to mention, the Mighty Quinn Tavern where the beer and food is cheap. All within 500m. For those with a bit of gear, secure and cheap Balcatta Storage is 10 min North (by car). Want groceries, Dog Swamp is 5 min South.

Pop in next time you're on break and check it out. Ben and the team will be happy to assist with all your...
