MARY & OLI GOING AROUND AUSTRALIA
NORTHWEST COAST - Page 8

11 September 2007, Tuesday

Continuation of the Pilbara Iron Plant Tour Story...
Ship being loaded - from lookout.
Ocean, salt and iron ore - nice contrast.
All together....
Island on the other side and in the harbour. On the right
side of the island beneath the palm tress somebody
lived until recently - collecting centrelink money and
just living on the Island - must be nice but a little dusty.
New screening plants - see the colours of the metal -
not yet covered by iron ore dust.
Stacker loading new ore onto the stockpiles.
Reclaimers - working on the stockpiles - in the foreground the train which is moved through the "tipping house" (not in
the picture) - two of those 100tonne wagons are tipped over and emptied at once.
Panoramics from the tour - thanks Mike for showing us his plant.
