Dig up the iron ore - put it on a boat to China - and become billionaires. Really I think it is that easy - we just need a few investors, anybody interested??
Ok maybe we need some infrastructure - but it looks like some other people have done that maybe they will let us use their railway line and port.
As you can see we have moved from the Kimberly to the Pilbara and the whole world changes -
We counted 125 carriages on this train going to Port Hedland - each one carries 138 tonne of ore. 4 engines to move it.
The ore gets loaded on one of these ships and heads north - we counted 29 ships waiting offshore.
Rio tinto mine salt here too!
Before Karratha and Dampier there was Cossack it was a thriving port town until the early 1900's - now a ghostown this is the courthouse built in 1895
We have started calling Sam Red Dog cause the dust is so red and it just get into his fur - so we just had to have him pose with the sculpture that is a tribute to the real Red Dog from Dampier (nice Australian movie made about Red Dog worth a watch if you have not seen it)

Courthouse could make a good B&B?
