The world is coming to an end, For Sure, The news from Newman W A sound like Australia will be first in line. Thanks for the early warning. I have decided to pack everything up and move. Being on the road will be the only way to outrun this thing. I am heading to Chinchilla in Qld. They have had their fare share of devastation and I think it would be the safest place around at the moment.

G'day Nicholas.

The thought did cross my mind at the time, but not even BHP would pull a dumb move like that ~ at that hour, not yet anyway !!!!

Please don't give them any ideas ~ OK.

It was a 4.3 Richter scale event and it was a genuine eerie moment in time to hear and feel the earth ripple from around 16000 metres deep.

The end of the World scenario is happening every day ~ to someone some where !!

Safe travels:

I also spent around three years with Macca's on the north wall push back ~ from 2003 to 2006 ~ but I live and have lived in Newman since 1989.

The moto~cross track/culb is quite strong membership wise, I have the pleasure of their event noise every time the arc up.

Karijini is definately a top place to wander around in and seeing its only a couple of hours away from Newman, it's all too easy ~ but at the risk of being moderated ~ Karijini N/P actually pales in scenic grandure to the less "flogged" inland Pilbara, but I am very biased in this view, only because I am a remote region tour operator.
I trust your memories of Newman go beyond working?

Safe travels:

Mate i really enjoyed Newman as a town i thought it was really organised and i still remember the nice green grass at the footy oval .People were always very nice i have done a fair bit of exploring up there but i must admit the nicest place i ever saw was at a camp we were at on rgp5 it was between port hedland and newman just off the highway and the camp was in the base of these gorges well not gorges but mountains it was one beautiful place we wre building the bridges it was really very special i used to grab my 4wdrive with some of the boys and drive about 5 ks from the camp and watch the sun go down never in my life have i seen a more beautiful and special place .I cant for the life of me think of the name of that place but it was about 130 ks north east of hedland and we stayed at a camp were there was a working mine but it was small mayby it was a magnesium mine i cant remember but the stuff they pulled out of the ground but it used to go in mobile phones.As for that area id really like to take my wife up there and show her these places as she has only seen a couple of places you live in a beautiful place.
