This is the open pit iron ore mine Iron Duke in the Middleback Ranges.
He quipped the plan is to “keep digging north forever.”
- prawn 6y agoI've driven past there a couple of times in the last few months (filming on Eyre Peninsula) and even something of that scale is a blip. Take away mining and grazing and absolutely massive areas of Australia would barely be of interest to humans. Iron Knob is an eyesore, but if it weren't for the roadside warning signs for the others in that locale, you might not know they were there.
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoWhat have you been filming? I grew up in Port Lincoln.
- prawn 6y agoI was born in Port Lincoln, though moved to Adelaide before I was one. I'm a web developer, but I fly a drone on the side filming for tourism. Last trip over that way was to film from an oyster boat in Coffin Bay for the tourism commission.

- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoHeh, good one. I was born in Adelaide but moved to Port Lincoln before I was one. So yeah, familiar with Coffin Bay, and don’t mind me the odd oyster or twelve. If you’re ever done this way shoot me a msg, email in profile.
- prawn 6y agoWill do. In-laws have recently bought a property in northern Tasmania actually so inevitable we'll head over at some point.
