The power generated is largely used to smelt aluminium in Bluff, 160km away. The bauxite they process is from Weipa in Queensland - a 3000km trip.

I saw people in Weipa standing in waist deep water near the pier fishing, with children swimming around them. I mentioned croc habitat but they didn't care.

Not much active seagrass destruction in the Gulf, at least by tourist developments – maybe a bit by mining at Weipa, bit by bottom trawling. But there was a massive mangrove kill during a previous severe El Niño, absolutely global heating caused: x.com/Gergyl/statu...

🧵 7/8 Weipa, 1995: Comalco offered individual contracts worth up to $20,000 more, on the condition that workers left union-backed agreement. 700 workers dropped to 71. Real wages spiked, then flatlined for years. That's what "flexibility" actually looked like.

Did some work for a Guinea bauxite project. Our reserves look tired compared to theirs. WA's are attracting more and more opprobrium for the Jarrah forest destruction. And Weipa is now across the river into much less impressive reserves -- also on environmentally sensitive ground (worked there too).

3.5km from Kuranda, I reached this spot, known as Fairyland. This curve was the northernmost point on any Government railway in Australia. This was of course in the period between the closure of the NAR and the opening of the new Darwin line. (See alt text)

A seemingly un-notable curve in a 1067mm gauge section of railway track. However this was then the very northernmost point of Government railways any where in Australia. There was (and still is) the Standard gaug Weipa Bauxite line in Cape York, and until the early 1970s there had been the North Australia Railway to Darwin. And subsequently the new standard gauge line opened to Darwin. But this was before that. And it was the furthest north I had ever been in Australia to that time.

Approaching Weipa, yay! We thought we had over 8 hours of driving to get there, so left before dawn... but we found a short cut! Sunrise just south of Bamaga was gorgeous, so we stopped to take it in and make coffee. #capeyork

Jardine River Ferry, the legendary (coz it's often out of action). Crossing in the morning then should see the tip of #capeyork before lunch. 🎉
'Designer dirt' on our camper. Fruit Bat falls: wide but not very high, great swimming hole. The turnoff to Weipa, which we'll take on Sunday, signage shows roads to Weipa, the Tip of Cape York, and the road south. Dirt road. Jardine River, with the ferry trundling across. Scrub on the other side and a dirt road.
