Thanks Mal and Moby. Found Shay Gap, but not Area C. Oh well. i'm flying there on tuesday will take the handheld GPS with me to mark the spot :) Carsten Bauer numloxx ON iinet dot net dot au Photography and Aviation Change the ON to AT to reply Back to top Richard Dale Guest Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2004 3:42 am    Post subject: Re: GPS Waypoints needed According to my WA Country Airstrip Guide, the Shay Gap airstrip is at: 20 degrees 25.917' S 120 degrees 08.083' E The townsite is located 4.5nm bearing 160 (magnetic) from the airstrip. According to: http://ironore.bhpbilliton.com/docs/mac_brochure.pdf it's 120KM north west of Newman and 326KM south of Port Hedland. Grab yourself a "compass" (the old ones you used to use at school in geometry) and you should be able to see where they intersect on a map. Further details show the "C Deposit" is located in the Northern Flank valley of Area C. According to the map on: [url]http://www.doir.wa.gov.au/documents/investment/IronOreReview2002(2).pdf[/url] Area C is roughly northwest of Newman (and much much closer to Newman than it is to Shay Gap). The "closest" airstrip I can see based upon the country airstrip guide is the Rhodes Ridge airstrip which is ESE of Area C and is located at: 23 degrees 6' S, 119 degrees 22' E, and seems to be around 36KM away based on the map included in the Iron Ore Review document above. According to a Google search there is an Airstrip at Mining Area C but I couldn't find any corrdinates for it. Would love photos of any airstrips you pass/land at for the collection at: http://www.flightclub.com.au/wa-airstrips/ Cheers, Richard.

Yes, I will get some photos for you if I can. But i'm actually doing the work while flying so may not get a chance. It's amazing the size of the operation out there.
