Working Away

[adam]

Well I've been situated in home base Karratha with the family for the last few months(or so it feels). But work has called for me to go bush to erect six 220 meter gas pipeline security enclosures(chainmesh Fencing). All the enclosures are on large stations in prime goat hunting country, fingers crossed that the land owners are easy to talk to. I'd say Ill be gone for a good month as the jobs are up to 10 hours away and pretty big for the type of fencing and rocky ground. So If I don't reply to pms from monday you all know why.

Have a good one and hopefully ill return with a story or two.

Just dropping in quickly to say Hi from our first bush camp cso1, Its a pretty good camp with 25 workers. The country is covered in spinafex termite mounds and a white gum tree Im yet to find out the name off. Heaps of native animals including some top looking lizards and theres tonnes of finches that drink from the water on the truck.

well better go I was lucky to get onto this internet connection through one of the other site supervisors, will try again in a week or so.

Over and out

Hey Ant, the photos will have to watch till I get home as time is very limited on the satelite connection the guys are letting me use. But I will have some.

Thanks Lads, it is a bit of magic land about these parts(a lot of land).

Here's a few more pictures, I took around 200 but will stop it at these last ones.

1000s of bees would visit the tray of the truck everyday for water which dripped from the tank.
