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

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.

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.

      I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door
