    Quite remote. Actually been there a couple of times - came in via Duchess in a heavy vehicle making urgent deliveries, but quite a few years ago now. Hit a bloody 'roo first time in and knocked out all headlights. Wasn't at all pleased at the time, but can't help being impressed by the country around there. Gotta love the Aussie outback!!

    There you go, the place does exist - not just in my nightmares!! Yes road to duchess shut for at least a week, the concrete culvert river crossing about 5 k from site is badly damaged, under sroured and has a crack in the roadway so the two pieces are now misaligned - now thats going to be a head scratch to fix!.

    More flies than oxygen out here at the moment, billions of the little black ones the size of rice grains

    There you go @Cuppa, thats a shot of the Beneficiation Plant that turns the crushed ore into a mud slurry before it gets leached with acid to make a hemihydrate crystal that turns into a lump of fertiliser - in simple terms!!! I have a project to deal with that dirty pond in the foreground as its not supposed to be discharged to the environment - licence upgrade to zero discharge due to numerous events of non compliance. Where I am supposed to send it - no one knows, so thinking of a bottling plant and sending it to the supermarkets as a high mineral health drink - yep, I think laterally.

    Place is full of people who make the most astounding statements and propose the most ridiculous solutions and constraints, then it gets minuted and defined as a deliverable - total bag of laughs at times, except when the action gets assigned to you.

    The larger the enterprise the larger the BS and the more outlandish the claims & statements.

    Here's the latest water flows and levels from Lake Eyre Yacht Club:

    Apparently there's another wave on it's way from Cyclone Trevor. Well that's according to Ch 10 news so wouldn't hang my hat on that info, but I'd love to personally see water in Lake Eyre some day.


    Gong him Red!!
