Spent a bit of time in Whyalla recently, as Kym has been up there with work. For those of you that dont know Whyalla, its a steel producing town, formally a BHP stronghold, not sure if they are still there, but Onesteel are definately there producing metal for railway tracks and other uses.
I used to live in this town 30 years ago, 1978 to be exact, and I can tell you not a lot has changed in this town since. Everything is still dirty, there is still salt bush in the main street, the tide still goes out about two kilometres every day (definate potential for windsurfing!), the runway at the airport is still dirt (or maybe its just stained from the pellet plant)
Whyalla is about 4 hours drive north of Adelaide on the top of the Eyre peninsular. There are approx 30,000 people there (I think) and its South Australias fastest growing city, again. Its been through its fair share of booms, the late seventies was definately one. There are about 4 football clubs, 5 soccer clubs, one ten pin bowling venue, no decent cafes, some true aussie pubs (about 8 of those), one shopping mall, thank god!
Overall its a top place. You have to go looking for things to do. But if you like the outdoors, sports etc you will be well catered for.
Here are a few pics of the first week we went up, yes we flew up twice for one day each time. The things you do for love!
This is the Pellet Plant at Onesteel, looks clean eh? Not!
Took a wrong turn! Sack the captain! HMAS Whyalla tourist attraction
REX Airlines, does it get any more Aussie? Hows the baggage truck?
Some interesting rock formations at Point Lowly. It looked like paving in a backyard. 
Family goodness at Point Lowly
Phoebe and I caught the local youth concert weekend! Whyalla's 'Little Day Out' These guys were called forgiveness or deliverance or something scarey. Think Blink182 as 14 years olds and you get the drift. Their first gig! There was also an excellent aboriginal hip hop group on before hand, no pics but they rocked out! I love live music! Cute eh?
First ever show, I wasnt even sure this young lads voice had broken! 
Until next time,
:)
