More stunning countryside and another mining town, Newman, this time BHP Billiton - the ore goes by train to Port Hedland with most being shipped out to China and Japan. More superlatives on a tour of the Mt Whaleback mine at Newman, it is currently 5.5. km long and 1.5 km wide.. The benches you can see in the photo are each 15 metres high which may give some idea of the dimensions. More rain here much to the delight of the local community and bird life!
