      I know mate, I brought a grain bin in Lismore once. That part with the riodans truck was ment to have an animation showing other things but something glitched during the upload. Riodans have a nice fleet 👍

    WA's ports... shows pictures of Port Kembla and what's the one at about 5:50? It must be an old pic as the ship tied up and the architecture of the surrounding area suggests just post WW2

      i thought it looked a bit strange. i might be wrong but there are some sheds back from leighton beach which might be the asbestos covered ones we demolished 30 years ago.

    How much of this system is owned by the Salim Group? I had just assumed that grain on this scale was US based outfits behind the scenes like so much of global Ag. Weird seeing that a coop founded in the 30s in Aus would partner w such vital crop. Sure beats being in Chinas pocket tho! Cheers from Santa Cruz Ca

      0%. CBH is cooperative100% owned by the WA farmers that deliver to it. Annual revenue is $6.0B making it the 4th largest private company in Australia competing in size with major mining companies.

      Most of the land is owned by large corporations, superfunds, and large private farmers. Towns have died, jobs are seasonal, and the wheatbelt turns into a desert over summer.
      Thankyou politicians for allowing the destruction of our state

    Need to factor that the land clearing through the wheatbelt up until 1970/1980, from the darling range to the goldfields and north to the Murchison, has caused a decrease in rainfall by 20%, and increase in soil salinity to the entire south west WA, the range of farmland has also diminished by approx 15% due to desert encroachment caused by deforestation.
    It is literally killing south west Western Australia.
    Reforestation is urgently required through the entire Wheatbelt as much as 15-20% needs to be completed urgently.
