Adelaide to Whyalla


                                                      Here is a view of the Whyalla Marina.
                                                    Pelicans waiting for fish and maybe chips.
                                                         The rod bent by a Trumpeter fish.
                                                          The crab trap works. Pity it's under size.
                                                   Harry has his photo with a Blueswimmer crab, James, Rohan.
                                                   The waste rock from the Iron Duke Open Cut Mine.
                                                 The entrance to the Iron Duke open mine.
                                                   Mum and Dad look like they are  pro. miners.
        
                            This is what the supervisors  drive around the mine.The white pole has a big orange flag on the end.
                                                 Just one of the mine pits they have. This place is constantly working.
                                              A better view of the open mine. If you look closely on the left, the bomb squad is preparing to blow the ore rocks into smaller ore pieces.
                                   A Massive dumper truck.That's when the orange flag comes in handy, to let the driver know you are about.
The Dolphin hangs around the marina and fishing jetty.
