Booming WA ?
The Yanks are not impressed with high gold prices , the loss of 500 jobs in a small state like WA is not good news.
THE jobs of 500 workers at three WA gold mines owned by US giant Newmont Mining are under threat after the company yesterday failed to win the necessary support from creditors for a rescue package designed to keep the mines alive.

And the good news is?
AUSTRALIAN Magnesium directors inched closer to abandoning the $1.7 billion magnesium smelter being built in Queensland yesterday as crisis talks dragged on through the day.
The emergency Australian Magnesium (AMC) talks in Sydney brought together the main stakeholders in the project as AMC directors, led by chief executive Rod Sharp, struggled to plug a $200 million shortfall in the project's funding.

I find it odd to see so many youngsters going to Perth nowadays. Why do they want to leave good jobs and a country like England for somewhere so dull. I have looked back and seen your job and you must be the only bloke I know with a decent job there. I bet even you're lying and working for WA tourism?
I hoenstly don't get it. I came here to leave a bad life in England but I would kill for the lives and houses some of these kids have got back there now. They don't know they're born and how they can knock England if they are so rich I don't know.

I migrated to Australia in '69. Since then I've lived in/worked in/visited every State except Tassie. Now, by choice, I'm back in WA.
So tell me, what do you want to do that's NOT boring? Because the odds are that you'll be able to find it here if you get off your a***, switch off your computer and actually go outside and have a look......

Another Kipling line puts me more in mind of life in Oz:
... And lose and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss...
Very hard.
