  • How neat to see the island again and see how much it has changed since I worked there in 1968-69. Also, the rock paintings. Donnie Blitner took a group of us up there one Sunday to see them. As I understand it, the first Europeans to see those paintings were the members of a National Geographic expedition in 1928. I still have a photo of me on the same lookout, with the crusher - a lot smaller back then - in the distance.

  • @MarsFKA Great to hear from you. Pity I did not make a great video, but time was short and I had work to do on the week that I was there. I have worked all over Australia and the Pacific. Just did a job ate the HWE run operation near Whyalla. Very different of course, but mine sites are interesting places. I work on comms systems.
