Is The Mining Boom Making You Fly To Remote Places?


Recommended Posts

Pannawonica (200ks south of Karratha) & about 50ks south of Fitzroy Crossing are 2 places that spring to mind :) Not any more though because I got back into my trade where soon I will be earning similar money anyway

I live in karratha so im conastntly around red dirt, red rocks the green trees get red dust on them and then they look red, same with the grass and anything else. . . haha Its not as bad as everyone says. . .once you know people it can be an awesome place but there still isnt that much to do

Haha. Looks like there are a few people up in the northern parts. Where I am, food is ok, and people are pretty good. Just got to get used to the hot days now :laugh:

I'm a Mechatronic Engineer. At the moment, the project I'm working on is the commsioning of the biggest iron ore robotic laboratory in the world. It's pretty cool, but I don't like being in the middle of noware. :banana: I'm back in Perth now ;) for the moment.

That's cool Ryan.. do they pay their drafties well? need another drafty? sounds a lot more interesting than conceptual mine/stockyard/port layouts.. probably doesn't pay as well though O_o

I had a lot more fun working for the automotive R&D company but the money just didn't compare with mining/resources.

lol, not sure what they pay the drafties. Don't know if they're looking for another one. Haven't heard anything at the moment anyway. If you like, you can have a look at their web site and get an idea of what they do. No harm in dropping in a CV if you're keen.

The web site is www.imp.co.za They haven't got the full Australian site up an running yet, so this one will be more informative.

whim creek

its nearly the middle of no where, its 100ish km north of karratha, and 100ish south of headland, and 70km north of roe burn..

it gets boring being there for two weeks non stop as theres SFA to do, theres a pub, and a gym, thats all

Damn! Newman in the summer..and in a tent. Hard core. Mind you I have to get a searched by armed guards when I go outside the wire. I screw with them though " yes i have some gold secreted about my person - I dare your to find it" ...I guess it's what your used to

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌  
    • Did you hit up the search function? R33 and greddy and cable returns this thread with some options.   https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358214-rb25-throttle-body/
