Day 49 - Granny Smith



For the run into Granny Smith we had to back track out to the main highway south before trecking into the mine site. On arrival we found the main office unattended but the large screen tv in the mess playing the rugby. With our WC fix for another day we were given a tour of the open pit and the salt sculptures that have been created in the wall from the ultra saline ground water the flows in from the salt lake above.



Whilst on site Neil raised a quick $100 in donations by fixing a scheduling problem that had caused the engineers some frustration!
At the event in the mess there was a great turnout from all the guys on site. With the GM Mark LeMessurier offering to be a nipper underground for half a shift if there was plenty of donations all were very generous. Special thanks to Anita who organised our visit to site and a great raffle. With the donations totalling $1051.25 this was a great effort from all at the mess.
