That's true, i was in Dampier in 1967, 1st year high school by correspondence, then dad got a job in Kambalda in late 1969 when it opened up.

I lived in mining towns most of my younger years , it was hard but they were amazingly strong communities, they were destroyed by FIFO.


But we have to realise that you can't improve your productivity unless you value add and you can't value add efficiently with our input costs, unless you do it at the point of extraction.


Our problem is exactly what you are pointing out, we want our cake and eat it, we want to live the high life in the city and be flown out to work for as short a period as possible.


But it is coming home to roost that we can't.
