Mudjina and Newman






Mudjina Gorge has a lovely free camp at the top.Mt Whaleback is the Mt they are mining at Newman, we did a tour here, its the largest open cut iron ore mine in the world. They dispose ore below 50%, usually 68%. In Russia they only have & use 50% ore. The iron ore in nature is very pretty, I like the deep blue. It is often in bands.The mines are encroaching on Karajini NP.
