Servicing the tourist industry as it does, Ultimate Campers may well be subject to seasonal highs and lows.

It is possible that retirees and holidaymakers alike get a rush of blood to the head in the spring and summer months and place orders large enough to give any camping industry CEO his or her own rush.

Perhaps those orders drop off just as quickly as the weather cools.

The firm is a national leader, receiving orders from around the country for its luxury caravans.

Whether the job losses are part of a wider picture - a decline in national financial confidence - remains to be seen.

It is worrying, however, that national economic commentators are continuing to warn of a potential widespread slow down.

However, Australia’s woes are nothing to compared to those of Europe.

Greece, the birthplace of democracy, once again finds itself at the forefront of concerns as it again teeters on the edge of foreclosing on its bail-out debts.

The Euro zone continues to suffer, in both political and economic terms, the fallout from the Global Financial Crisis.

Austerity measures in southern Europe have driven voters in the most vulnerable economies to hardship not experienced since World War II and to hard-line positions on either side of the political spectrum.

At the time of going to press, negotiators were continuing to struggle to reach agreement on the future of Greece - with the future of the Euro zone itself part of that equation.

Australia may have weathered the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) better than any other advanced econonmy, but we remain vulnerable to international pressures.

Here’s hoping the talking down of the Australian economy and the pessimistic predictions for Europe are just that - talk.

And here’s hoping the job losses in Moruya simply signal the end of a holiday, rather than a deeper malaise, much harder to travel through.
