RED DOG AND NORTH WEST SHELF PROJECT





Today I got my photo with my favourite movie star.  A true story told in a film of this famous dog that wandered the Pilbara for years.  I now want to get a copy of the book telling of his tales of travel.  It is said that he even travelled over to China on one of the iron ore ships and back.



We called into the North West Shelf Project Visitors Centre and took our time learning of the history which constitutes Australia's largest oil and gas resource development and currently accounts for more than one third of Australia's oil and gas production.


The NWS Project is a joint venture between six major international companies and produces LNG, LPG and Oil from huge offshore gas and condensate fields in the Carvarvon Basin off the north-west coast of Australia.  NWS Project has been WA's largest provider of domestic gas for the state.

Like I said, this visit was well worth the visit and learn how all is produced with visual ipad's as well as sitting and listening to videos throughout the centre.

Another steel statue this time representing all those men who lost their lives during these projects.  This stands above the Woodside Onshore operation.
