So what's going on in my "big backyard"

Lots of things actually and sadly not too many of you Adventurers out there know about these goings on and no doubt some of you could'nt care one way or the other.

Mining is sadly the biggest blight on the face of the Pilbara, there just seems to be a rip /tear/bust attitude and mentality when it comes to this ancient part of the earth. Huge tracts of the Pilbara are being systematically disemboweled to feed the iron hungy world, the rich buggers are getting richer and the other buggers who work for them don't give a toss about the land because most of them do not actually live here ~ it's not their home ~ they simply fly in and fly out, most do not even have a connection with the community they are flying to or from. 

I see it from a totally different perspective, but you need to sit on a hill and think about what it all represents ~ A genuine Indigenous connection that goes back to more than 26,000 years and this fact is scientifically proven, ancient petroglyth sites that depict stories possibly when Dinosaurs ruled the food chain!!

Ancient geology and even a rare almost fully intact meteorite crater don't seem to have a chance when it come to the all powerful mining companies and complient govenment(s), as there is clear evidence of precursory mining not more than 500 metres from the southern slopes of the recently discovered Hickman Meteorite Impact Crater, it seems that nothing is sacrosanct when it comes to the almighty Dollar and some rich bugger getting richer, sad really.

I need to stress to you the Adventurer, come and see this part of the earth before you just won't be able to see it as it's being locked down and mined ~ right now!!!
