Despite the bad press, I love it here. Sean, where did you work? You weren't the Sean who ran the art centre are you?
Nope. I was the Sean who worked for a gold/diamond/base-metal exploration company (that no longer exists) in the mid-90s.
Oh, so you were that tosser.

Nope. I was the Sean who worked for a gold/diamond/base-metal exploration company (that no longer exists) in the mid-90s. We had ground about 30km south, also some back towards Fitzroy Crossing, and west of Turkey Creek. Didn't find a lot though. I was there from about early 1994 to early 1995 if I remember correctly. 
Way before my time. You'll have got to see some great country, though. 30kms south(ish) of HC down the Tanami would be Ruby Plains and beyond? The mining, of all sorts, has gone off up here since then, but there's a lot more involvement with the Aboriginal communities too. Do you remember any of the local people that you met? Or maybe you didn't - I know a lot of the mining crew, and they often don't meet anyone local. |
