I use a 'stylus pen' for this touch-screen phone. Doesn't work for every touch (screen fault? pen fault?), but much more accurate than with fingers (or willy). I notice that if one letter/symbol won't "go" then you can touch another one, and when that works, delete it, and the original symbol will become 'alive/responsive'. I don't know how touch screens work, but it is amazing. Apart from when they don't work. Willy ? You must be thinking of a dictaphone...

What were you doing there? -its definetly not one of the more salubrious places on the NW Coast I was working as an Assayer for the Mt Newman Mining Co. Single Men's Quarters fronted the beach at Cooke Point, and while the town could never be described as 'salubrious' even back then, it was a great place to live and work so far as I was concerned. However the local council had started to destroy all the character even back then (50 years ago), demanding that all the town buildings tear down the verandahs sheltering the pavements (too old-fashioned or something ridiculous). I shudder to think what it must be like now, though I had recurrent dreams of returning there for years after I had left. It had a genuine frontier feel to it, the ocean was on my doorstep for kayaking up coast, and the outback was always there for adventuring out into during the long shift change-overs.

bodger is like a dog with a bone for Lady G-spot Where and what exactly is it? If Mr Stabby could provide us with a pic* we could run a sort of Spot the Ball competition. *don't want to frighten the horses, a tasteful shot of Shania will do.

We lived there from 67 to 69 (father was an assistant harbour master) - I went back in the early 90s when I was fishing - town was exactly as I remembered it, except getting the names the wrong way round for the 'nade' and 'pier' - probably because I was too young to drink in the 60s & 70sπ

I wonder though β my father documented MNM operations from the very start, and one of the promotional films he produced for the company was dedicated to the harbour operations. Might even have your father on film! I'd have to look it up to see what the date of that film was. The harbour was obviously greatly enlarged to cope with the 100,000 ton iron ore ships from Japan, but I worked a couple of long shifts as a casual labour wharfee on the old harbour for extra money and the experience (during MNM shift change-overs) before the union refused to allow even temp workers if they were not member of at least some other union. The harbour tower :- Looking out to the harbour from the MNM processing plant :-

The harbour tower :- Looking out to the harbour from the MNM processing plant :- May well be, there were quite a few of them due to the number of ship movements. I think that when the tower was built the lift was too big to fit in the shaft, mind you I was quite young so my memory may not be that good. Thanks for your photos & memories - who would have guessed how diverse the experience and knowledge on TB isππ
