Ann: March 2023 Quarterly Activities Report, page-16

Like a caravan park, they need long term permanent residents to tide them over in the tourist down season.

The last caravan park I stayed at, the long term residents in caravans (composed of locals and blue collar tradies) paid an average $130 per week which isn't much but they had been there for over 10 years. With one guy being there for nearly 25 years...

The short term white collar tourists would jet in and pay $130 per night to stay there in a cabin but they would only stay a few nights before jetting off again and only a dozen or so came during the down wet season. And none during disaster events like Covid.

So, they both have their place. Blue collar long term, for the guaranteed earnings. White collar short term, for fast injections of cash.
