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).
2/ NEW w @katemac.bsky.social From Morocco’s leveraging trade access for battery gigafactories to Guinea’s strongarming China for aluminum smelters with its dominant bauxite reserves, to solar manufacturing, what we call “strategic green industrial diplomacy” has become supercharged in Africa.

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)

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
