Who are your customers - townpeople / surrounding areas / nomads & other terrorists?

Peppi is only a pretty small town & you look to be pretty well stocked for only a few '00 people.

I seem to remember that you said it's also a "wet" town - does that cause many problems?

There is enough fuel to last the whole wet season until the next del. Not many people driving around that time of year

The community numbers around 200 plus only. There are a few tradies here doing up all the houses plus in the wet other small communities will buy off us.

The small club is across the road. We have never encounteted any issues as its only open 4 nights a week from 5.00 to 8.00pm. Talking to the coppers they rarely have an issue.

The community is well educated and respect is shown from the kids towards their parents and elders. Thats why we call it peppi paradise  ;D

Congrats goes to the Peppi Female softball team for winning the grand final today. It was a close game but victory was theirs 19 to 16. They only started the comp in round 5 and out of 9 teams in the division, 7 teams alone from Wadaye, they are the champions for the region.

Not bad for a very small community.

Geez that's looks like a lovely spot........ the fish looks like a freshwater black brim (that's what we called them anyway) they go pretty hard pound for pound, pretty agro little buggers too, as u can see it had no issues smashin' a lure that size...... we used to catch plenty of them in the Burdekin around Charters Towers....... They were the next best thing to the Barra lurking around the holes.....

Very jealous of the new toy Mark.  You should have a ball with that.  Just don't crash it in the water or you may have to decide between the croc or phantom.
