West Angelas, 22nd - 26th August, 2005

I have just spent 5 days in West Angelas, near Newman, which is in the Pilbara region of the north west of West Australia. I was supposed to have the last day off, to go to Eagle Falls to take photo's, but ran out of time. On the last day, however, I had some time to take some photo's at the minesite I was working at and on then, later, on the road (literally), on the way back to Newman to catch the flight out on Friday evening.

Glad I can help with showing those who haven't been to this wonderful part of the state what they're missing out on. I'm pleased that your husband uses the footrest correctly and that he passed on this link to you. Thanks for your kind comments, you're welcome.

Thanks for the great photos, the guy in the load-out is my husband, good to see he has his feet up at work again!! I work for Ultra Trace Laboratories who do exploration analysis for West angelas, so have passed this around here as well. It is interesting for those who work here but have never been on-site to have a look. Thanks again.
