It was McHale’s army on Rotto today, too, as dozens of people invaded a Nappy Alley unit.
Tourism Minister Sheila McHale cut a ribbon across the front door of Gull, or unit number 211, in South Thomson.
The thronging crowd seemed like gulls as they huddled and devoured morning tea after the event.
“Ms McHale also unveiled 43 refurbished units in South Thomson, meaning 85 per cent of the island’s 308 holiday units have now been upgraded or refurbished,” said her media release.
“We’ve also reached another milestone – all asbestos cement roofing has now been removed and replaced with colorbond,” Ms McHale said in her release.“It also keeps us on track for the refurbishment program as set out in the Rottnest Island taskforce report to be finished in 2008.”
The media were keen to know if schoolies would be staying in these now-pristine places. No they will not, the Minister said: Nappy Alley is families only.
The refurbished unit looked very nice. It was certainly a lot cleaner than the one we checked into earlier this year. The Minister had a poke around the fridge, people inspected the shower and bedrooms, and marvelled at the view from Gull’s front porch.
The crowd zipped across to Rotto on the Rottnest Spirit: more detail about that tomorrow.
