Alan Kohler· Host0:46
And we are The Money Cafe. And, uh, James, you're in Perth. Why are you there?
James Thompson· Host0:50
I am in Perth, yes. Uh, we have our mining summit here, uh, today on Wednesday, and, um, yeah, it's always a great event. Great to get over to Perth. We went up to the Pilbara on Monday and had a look at one of Rio Tinto's mines called Western Rangers, and I hadn't been up there before, so it was quite an experience. You know, you sort of write about the Pilbara and mining for [laughs] 25 years, but to finally get there and have a look and see just the scale of just one mine was... It was quite eye-opening.
Alan Kohler· Host1:23
I flew over the Pilbara, um, once, I think in 1975, with Lang Hancock driving the plane.
