Adelaide Day 3

The third and final day was kicked off with a round of interview. It is supposed to be on the 2nd day, but the site visits dragged on so it was postponed to this day.

Next we went to steel-making and steel products

This way to hell.

The iron rod was manipulated like a piece of plastic

Dust control

Transporting of finished products

After lunch, it is time to say goodbye.

An even smaller plane!

Opps, the propeller stopped, just kidding.

I was sat beside the emergency exit.

Foggy evening in Melbourne on the drive home

More fog.

Red = car brakes/traffic light, orange = street lights, white = oncoming car's headlight.

Now, waiting for their good news.

Adelaide Day 2 (Part Two)

Next stop, the blast furnace. Here they make molten iron.

The control room. It would be great if the TV can show some programmes instead of a CCTV screen. Haha

After dinner with some of the managers, I crashed at this hotel.

What a waste, 2 double beds just for me. Guess which one I slept on?

Adelaide Day 2 (Part One)

I was off to a regional town called Whyalla the next morning, in a small plane. Count the number of windows and multiply it by 3, that's the max capacity of the plane.

Our bus driver, Les

First, he showed us around the little town.

On our way to the mines. Sitting in front of me is Reuben.

Saltbushes along the way

Are we there yet?

Yes

Gigantic trucks transporting the ore

Our tour guides for the mines, Kurt (and Simon not shown)

This is what they are mining for.

Our chariot

Our chariot is no more taller than the wheel of this truck.

Rather scary following it.

Next, we went to the place where they "upgrade" those ore low in iron. Our tour guide, Jo.

Micky mouse ears helmet, only works on Jo.

Piangz, so tall to climb.

Piles of "upgraded ore"

More "upgraded" ore

Next we went to the pellet plant, where they make small iron pellets. Everything here is mahogany red.

Our tour guides Rebecca.....

.....and Robyn. Your heart will melt if she looks directly into your eyes.

Iron pellets

To be continued.......

Adelaide Day 1

I received a last minute call from a prospective employer to attend visit their site and have an interview with them at Adelaide. So I was off to Adelaide and checked into the hotel late in the evening.
