Ex-canberran, moonunit. I live in the gong now.

and the best thing about canberra? Kingsleys Chips and gravy! And goodberry’s! hahahhaha haven’t stopped in for any this year yet but will definitely do so!
Haha I remember it being Cannons/Superbarn!!! My Uncle use to be the centre manager down there. Have you seen the tennis centre at Fadden Pines lately?! I use to play there when I was in Primary School.
I reckon I am the only Canberra that isn’t that big of a fan of Kingsleys Chips!!! But Goodberries Im all over it like a fat kid on a cup cake!!!
LOL MU I use to live in Bonython, then moved to Isabella, now in Lanyon.

Wrong there- Dragons not a fan. Only time I’ve ever had Kingsleys chips was paid thru work over 2 years ago- not cooked enough (awesome chips my ass), tho most places don’t. Goodberries is good for a sugar fix, I think I’ve been there twice..
Thats a whole lot of roofing there Wazza

Hi Warren, Sorry to hear about the propose layoffs. Are you working on N04 Battery Coke oven? its look alot like it. I can remember being on a shut down (remove and replace Stand pipes, the Main Gas Collector and Charge Cart) and one morning the 400 ton Bramble mobile crane had to move and some bloke (BHP Safety Officer) park his car in the way so they lifted and place the car on the Gas tank in the background of the second pic. I also work on No 5 blastfurace reline shutdown in 2009.
Oh how I love Cracker Night in Darwin!
Firecrackers and Fun!
Hope they don’t ban it because it’s like the only fun thing to do up here!!

There so big on safety in the Steel Works Port Kembla it’s not funni, and there letting all the safety officer’s go…......... i don’t get it?

Hi Warren Is just finish a shut down on North mines (Underground) was a opencut back in 2000. I,m a Boilermaker, 1st Class welder, rigger, formworker and in 2006-7 Did a Cert 4 in Digital Imaging @ Ultimo TAFE. I wanted to make a living as a shooter but Its reallyy shit money until you prove yourself in Photography industry. My first job has a shooter doing a Santa gig at Broadway Sydney CBD. I loved it. Hay I,m not a good like looking guy but the Yummy Mummy keep on putting it on me for after hours work. Back in May I gt on to the Ore something shut down but my passport was out of date. So I had to fork out for $260 dollar for my road and rail and General induction. Got piss off because they keep on putting ore shutdown back so I took up the Parkes Shutdown. During that shut down I had real scare with my heart. I was aware of this but didn,t really thing I was that bad. I ended up getting a Stent put in. So I have to recoup before I can do any real cardio sports like boarding for a few months. so that me up to now.
Hay Warren
Just about the Safety bloke and other blokes being lay off. That really piss me off because The Gov have known of the Blight of the steel industry yet have make it hard for it to be compitive. Patching up old out of date blast-furance won,t do it. The Port Needs a Complete renewal and only with gov backing will it happen. Its don,t much sence. We have the best ore, the best coking coal on our doorstep and the sea to drawn reneweble enerny from (wave and tide converters which by- product is turning salt water to drinking water) But they Just hell bent on this Carbon and Mining tax on the Gong area when it needs money put into the Gong.
Nice pics Warren!!!!!
I,m not a fan of heights, so stuff that!!!!! I’ll stay inside the shed!!!!!
Holy crap JohnoT you have done heaps…...... Good on ya mate and let the work keep coming 
With the steel shit, i can’t belive it’s cheper for the chinese to buy our Ore and Coal and make steel outta this than sell it back to us cheper than what we can make it here 
I just really feel sorry for all the poeple at #4 Battery and #6 blast-furance that will have to start there life all over again looking for a new job.
I think the Government is hell bent on the carbon tax at the moment cause they have to pay back “Craig Thomson” prozzie bill bahahahahahhahaha
And i think everyone losing there job, the rush will be on to get over to WA…
