It's a lot better on the inside then what it on outside, use to stay there a
few times when I came down on holidays from Rockhampton. I suppose it was
close to Surfers which was another good reason.
Coverage of Raw FM when I was driving around on Monday on the coast was
quite good north and could hear it to the boarder south. They have a bad
shadow I noticed driving towards surfers on the coast side from the north.
