Rio Tinto remote WA sites

Specifically referring to this one...

That was Paraburdoo... I seem to remember two other locations being mentioned? Does anyone know where they were?

Am I right in saying that these sites will all be open to the public?

I was going to attach a screenshot of the "nearby locations" section. It's empty :shock:

But attachment allocation on this forum is exceeded again. Sigh. I'll discuss with other admins.

I would have thought that in the great Australian ‘outback’ a city style nose-in parking bay would be seen as not serving those with a tow bar.
Real remote area types would make them drive through style ….. right ?…………or can’t EVs tow ?
