Photographed at the Battery Hill Mine Museum. Tennant Creek has a rich history as a gold mining centre. Here was found one of the richest gold bearing seams ever mined in the world. Very remotely located in central Australian desert country, life was harsh for the people who lived here.
Mining operations use massive amounts of water , which can place a stress on local aquifers and local economies and lives. Some companies are trying to reduce their water use. Here, an artificial lake created by Antamina to recycle the water it uses.

The old waterway constructed by US Steel still guides the water flow for the town of Lynch all these years later.

Strip mining just outside of the protected area of the Mansfield Battlefield. Taken in March of 2006. I have not been back to see if the mining company did a good job at restoring the land.

With the Mining Industry Booming at the moment, Pacific National, with its large fleet of locomotives and rollingstock still cannot cope with the pressure. They have done numerous things to keep up with the Industry. Buying new rollingstock is one.
This seen here is another good example. The last two Locomotives of this Lash up are on loan to PacNat from Chicago Freight Car Leasing Australia (CFCLA) with the PacNat 82 Class leading since they suite the crews trainings and needs.
Also, these Coal wagon once used to be Wheat Wagons. Ironically, the Wheat industry of PacNat is coming to a close (due to the draught) and lately they have just been transferring the locomotives and rollingstock from Rural and Bulk straight into Southern Coal!
So, in the next coming years (besides PacNat carbon footprint) we should see some interesting combos that occur in Coal train movements.

Mining Artifacts
This was a very fun trip and I hope to do it again next year. As a member of the Peninsula Wilderness club for almost a year now, I still had not gone on any outings with them. This all changed on this Sunday as 3 other members and myself did the "Koski" Loop. This loop is un-officially named after one of the members that first suggested this hike to the group. The hike starts at the Tubal Cain trailhead then veers off onto the Tull Canyon trail going to its end and eventually going off trail at its end climbing up to the col or saddle between Hawk Peak and Mount Worthington. Once on the ridge or col, travel northeast on the ridge until you reach the top of Hawk Peak. After summiting Hawk Peak. Make your way down towards Silver Lake which is visible from the ridge onto a faint boot path which is also visible from the ridge and through a large scree field until you reach the lake. Once you are at the lake, head on to the Silver Lake trail and follow it up the ridge between Welch Peak and Mount Townsend. For a quick summit bear right or south for an easy scramble to the top of Welch Peak. After Welch, head back down the ridge to regain the Silver Lake Trail and continue until you reach the Mount Townsend Trail. Take a left or west, going uphill towards Mount Townsend following trail until you get to summit. From summit going north, trail becomes the Little Quilcen Trail Continue downhill to a junction veering left and staying on ridge. This trail is also known as the Dirty Face Ridge Trail. Follow steep downhill trail until you reach the trailhead at road. A short walk downhill returns you to the start of the the hike.
Total Miles for trip, 16 or 17 depending on who you ask. Elevation - Just over a mile at around 5400 feet.
Things to see along the way.

Jerome, Arizona
Jerome is perched on the side of Cleopatra Hill deposits. In 1876, mining claims and a mill were located near the over rich ore town. These claims were purchased in 1882 by the United Verde Company, and the tent camp was named Jerome after Eugene Jerome, a major financier of the company. Senator William Clark of Montana purchased the company in 1883. By the mid 1920s the population had grown to almost 15,000 before it began to decline.
Walking down Main Street is like taking a step back in time. Remnants of the "Red Light District," Company Hill, old hotels, and saloons still exist. Today the population is close to 500. When the mines shut down in the 1950s, the population was below 100. It was then the town became known as a ghost town. However, today it is a thriving destination tourist town and a national historic landmark.
Tablet showing the mining camps in the Pittsburg-Weir Coal Field Miners Memorial in Pittsburg Kansas. The Miners Memorial celebrates and preserves the rich mining and immigrant history of the deep shaft and strip miners, including auxiliary workers, in the Weir-Pittsburg Coal Field located in Cherokee and Crawford counties. Each of the names carved on the tablets worked the Weir-Pittsburg Coal Field located in Cherokee and Crawford counties. The area would be home to over a hundred camps but only a few became towns and cities.
