Hey, don't knock King Island. I've been to Grassy mate. They have a thriving export trade in cheese and kelp - and don't forget the scheelite mine...

and don't forget the scheelite mine...

:eek:
Say what?

[silentC]

Very important stuff, that. Every time you use something with a tungsten tip, think of King Island.

Actually, although I don't usually let the truth stand in the way of a good story, the Scheelite mine has been closed now for years.

My old man worked at the KI scheelite mine at start-up, reckoned it was the worst run project he'd ever been on.

I knew one of the managers there in the mid 60's, he may know him.

Put you at the top of the list if I run into serious problems on that one.

Doubt it Iain, Dad was there in the 30s or early 40s, died in '62.
