thankyou guys for answers re- road transport, from what I see its a no go. Lets all hope the w.a. government can show leadership to solve the standoff with the big three dominating the pilbara rail, it just maybe that they could support aurizon in some sort of deal(of which there are many) for aurizon to make an easy decision to build rail to the coast and portof the pilbara.For all pilbara i/o miners in the same predicament as flinders, this would solve our biggest problem. I believe this is the very reason we vote for governments to show leadership and vision, they cannot just stanDby and watch australia's wealth stay in the ground when we can sell i/o to not only china but also too to so many other countries in the asia region. I say to the w/a premier to give w/a and australia a chance to be the biggest exporter of i/o in the world, don't hold us all back when we all know that this mineral is one of the winners we really have to sell.This is all my opinion.
