What a dive of a place. No phone reception and wages were average. Place is old.

Coobina was pretty tough to work at. The site is not very organised. I definitely think that they could do with some camp upgrades. There was no mobile reception which made things very tough. The phones in the rooms weren't very reliable either. Not one of the better places to work.
