Marketinfo says: You are basically suggesting the wild west.
I migrated to the Wild West on the Kanimbla in 1958.
Like all refugees (from the staid Eastern States) I had a hard time. My first job in Perth was lumping bags of frozen fish-heads in a cold storage works. I was a stockman on an Outback development block. I got $62 a week, showered under a tank stand. I slept in a corner of a machinery shed, rarely rode a horse as I drove a bulldozer at one end of a massive old anchor-chain as we cleared the bush. No Greenies back then. They were clearing a million acres a year. The WA mining boom was about to begin.
I was pioneering the Wild West and loved every minute of it. All I want is for other refugees to have the same Fair Go I got. Here I am in the Pilbara. The ABC PAID me to drive from Perth north for five days to make TV doco about the dawn of the Iron-Ore Boom.
