The only places to stay in/around Jellicoe are tourist camps. There are a number of motels in Geraldton and one in Beardmore. There used to be a motel in Jellicoe (a dive) but Kodiak bought it.

It wouldn't surprise me that a new influx of "money bags" have been out to the Hercules property; could be a continuation of the tours that they were offering in the fall.

I wouldn't think that they are showing off anything new as there hasn't been any public disclosure to suggest anything earth shattering has been discovered since last fall.

Just my 2cents.
