boomtime

Hello to all Brits coming to Australia (or already here for that matter),


I'm starting to get excited. Forget Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and even the boom in Perth. These places have had their run. I believe what we will witness in the next two decades in good old South Australia will dwarf any of these.

Here's what Brad Crouch of the Sunday Mail had to say:

Of course do your own research, find out what you can about this story and everything that goes with it. There is more about the China/Australia uranium contracts online.

This is news that hasn't even started sinking in over here.

Good Luck to all of you.

So who are you boomtime? Is this a one off post?

Hi Gedge,

well now I'm a two-off poster. lol

I'm a south australian resident and investor. I own real estate here and also a multitude of uranium shares. That is the only time I am going to post that article, but there are others online that will support that article. I am just giving a heads up to anybody that is interested.

In life, great opportunities come along only so often and you either research them and act on them or you don't (never do anything without proper research). It is entirely up to you.

I hope that answers your question. I would be happy to answer any others if I can. Good luck to you in Australia.

cheers

Hi again

It certainly looks like it'll have a big impact on the state and country in general. Lets hope that all the positives outweigh the negatives for all who may be affected by it.
I'm not in the mining industry, unless it involves data. Good luck with the opportunities it may afford you.

The hardest thing will be getting people to go and live there we are forever moving people out of Roxby,because they cant stand the isolation,it is a place not for the light hearted but for a young couple starting out, 10 yrs would set you up for life......................... mm

boomtime

Yes that's right, Roxby is not a great place to live, but that is if you plan to work directly on the mine (for the chosen few). Indirectly, the impact of this will be far-reaching, real estate, service industries, retail etc will all benefit greatly.

jad n rich

So what sets Roxby apart from the many mining towns in QLD and WA people can already go to and get paid X times more $ for the inconvenience (politely worded there) of living there. ?? Ta

Of course let's not worry about the environmental impact of a boom in SA.

boomtime

Nothing, but this is not about Roxby Downs, it is about the economic benefits this will bring to the whole of South Australia and the opportunity for many to get in on the ground floor. With other states people are getting in three quarters of the way through the boom.. Keep your eyes open and ears to the ground over the next six months.

cheers and of course do your own research.

boomtime

such as?

dshole

How about a distinct lack of water? Or the continued rape of the land for resources.

boomtime

I don't really want to get into a head to head here on the ethics of mining Dshole, but you really need to do your research on the area in question as I stated previously. Progress is progress and Australia, particularly uranium ore producing states/territories such as SA and NT have extremely tight regulations and environmental policies.

cheers

dshole

There are no complaints from me about the uranium mining, in fact I think that fission should be more seriously investigated in Australia as an alternative to coal.

The core issue is that Australia in the grips of a major drought, SA is critically short of water as it is; And a economic boom may only serve to make the situation worse due to the population boom that will go with it.

I agree that progress is progess, but all things need to be considered.
The trouble is, the Australian government has little regard for environmental issues/impacts and thinks far to along the economic lines.

gedge

That's the kind of thing I was hinting at.
Too often these down sides are overlooked by those seeking economic gain.

mr mover

There is a water pipeline in place , as far as woomera.
With state goverment assistancem BHP-Biliton plan to build a desalination plant at Port Augusta, this will suppy a lot more of the remote areas as well'.

Personally i dont no why they dont build a small nuke power plant to cover their energy needs ,and service the town which will double in size by 2015........... mm
