Well Bardon if Europe's anything to go by we may not have long to wait. Like I was telling JP, I can't find good news anywhere. Quite the contrary I'm afraid.

Logistics in WA just stopped as of late. We're all scratching our heads wondering what just happened after a fairly steady few months. It'll be wait and see over the next week or 2. OK for…[Read more]

It's a policy problem Dub's. In future when engaging any work have it billed through one point. They either refer their bills to the PM or you. if it's you have the PM submit any accounts for payment to you. If it's the PM simply pass all accounts to him for processing. Easy. Clear lines of communication and a simple policy will solve all your…[Read more]

The 6 links below are PI spreadsheets I've picked up over the years and one I've recompiled myself. They range from simple to complex. Use at your own risk.

You mean 1.5M Loonies. Those Canucks are just about as bad as us Kiwis

West coast is where the action will be. Big push to open up the western seaboard with infrastructure to export minerals and energy to China

AP is a mapping problem. No map!!

The term doesn't define the problem because paralysis isn't the issue rather a continuing effort to either analyse or a fear of acting because you have no template that tells you when you have completed the analysis.

People get stuck with AP because they have a haphazard ad hoc approach to problem solving. The…[Read more]

Readers need to be aware some marketing groups & REA have been actively marketing Newman. With only 52 sales in Newman over the last 12 months median prices are subject to distortion.

That would be frenetic for Newman.  RE.com lists 59 currently for sale but interestingly only 8 rentals. REIWA indicates around 2500 properties so…[Read more]

How long is a piece of string?

Your questions are so generic as to make it impossible to answer.

I would agree with Mal on this one. Even though I'm substantially bearish mining these 2 towns are probably as close as you'll get to a safe bet. Note that Onslow is Gas not mining.

Newman is the central hub and feeds support to BHP's local mines, FMG have area HQ's (albeit small) their that connect with Solomon, Cloudbreak and Christmas Creek.…[Read more]

Tiling's easy. It's the grouting I hate. I leave that to the old girl!

Moxi it's not pessimism it's called realism. I'm in logistics directly related to resources. I make business decisions based on reality not hope.

Woomera is 18% of SA in land area. It already has several miners active in that area. The geology is reasonably well understood as well as its potential. Only about 80% of Woomera will be available, the…[Read more]

ET is an impoverished country with less than 200k people. It's at the bottom and after years of turmoil it's starting to settle into its new identity. The only way left for ET is up. At the moment Dili is a western city extension come hub for economic development. Currency is USD and living costs are comparable to AU. Govt has recently anounced a…[Read more]

Heat is shed via a heat exchanger (same as a radiator). Just like your car if you block airflow through or to your radiator your car will run hotter. In terms of AC's that substantially drops the efficiency. It can take longer to pull down internal temps or your unit simply runs longer to achieve the same result.

Most external units are poorly…[Read more]

Sounds like a worthless piece of dirt in the middle of nowhere looking for a new sucker I mean owner.

Just watch you don't kill your air flow. Drops efficiency bigtime.

Canadians are the single biggest investment group in the US market. What does that tell you?
