Thank You for posting. Good old Gwalia still delivering in Gods own Country! Ah--Happy Memories there when I was a Young chap working on the Railways. I think that I should go and buy some Shares.
@@garryteahan6375 Even for a jaded Old Earth Sciences guy like me it was special ... I was partly responsible for the determination of the curvature of those little lines defining the drill holes intersecting the ore body ... Notice how some of the bore holes are Hydra headed ? That was down to me and some drillers. They steered them .. I kept watch. Best rowdy pub in the planet - The White House. Skimpy Bar Girls serving Alcohol to what were clearly inebriated customers (Shocked!) - a surging crowd of young fellers pissed out of their happy little gourds. I still remember the looks on their faces. In 40 years they will remember what an awesome night that was. I dont think much has changed since the turn of the last century plus one... Thank Goodness.
@@garryteahan6375 Indeed? I used to be able to speak "Driller" of course never with the fluency of the Native. Today we will learn three new words in Driller : "Bllluuurmpfffp" "Grufffumpfffffkerrrinnnn" and "Skkkkkddlllllderk " ;-)
Great video! Nice work, though the circling motion was making me feel a wee bit dizzy. Sadly I haven't been in that area in 50 and 30 years. That whole area including Norseman, Coolgardie, Ora Banda, Kalgoorlie is fascinating from many viewpoints. Live on Sons of Gwalia!
This really gives a good sense of the sheer scale of these projects. Staggering! Great animation too.

It is a place that speaks history. Visiting the old town when the sun is setting is a bewitching experience.

@@markawbolton Thanks Mark for the memories! I have always had great respect for the Drilling Teams-- the forgotten Heros of great discoveries.
