22.01.2022 DAMPIER TO SINGAPORE TWICE A WEEK BY SEA A dedicated international shipping service will connect the Pilbara with Singapore, commencing late December. Sea Swift northern Australia’s largest shipping company will establish the new route, making an average of two sailings per month with the ninety nine metre vessel, the Karratha Bay.... The proposed service was 7 years in the making and will see international goods coming direct to Dampier without the need for road haulage from Fremantle or other ports in the nation. Sea Swift spokesperson Paul Toussaint-Jackson, who prepared the Pilbara Freight Study for the City of Karratha and who has lived in the Pilbara, told Ngaarda Media the service would mean a lot to many Pilbara people. "It's a big saving in time and a big saving in money. Not just for industry but small companies and even mums and dads. Part of our interest is to see that the Pilbara community is sustainable. There's plenty of options there for people to maybe change their buying partterns - it could even be personal effects - but certainly import things directly and save themselves a lot of time and money". Mr Toussaint-Jackson said benefits of direct shipping could flow to the costs of Pilbara housing and that customers would be able to import goods in their own containers affordably rather than have to arrange shipments so they could fit on a truck during the supply chain. "A lot of Pilbara businesses find it very expensive to get containers and our service will be very focussed on providing low cost containerisation so for the first time many companies up here will be able to bring their equipment and materials directly in from suppliers overseas into the Pilbara, all in their own container". Mr Toussaint-Jackson said part of the benefit would be the opportunity for business in the Pilbara region to export to Asia and beyond. His experience has been in small regional communities which in some cases have had better freight logistics than the West Pilbara area, including Mr Toussaint-Jackson said, Medang in PNG where he resided for many years. "It became ultimately a fascination of mine about how to improve logistics into some of the communities I lived in. I remember when we were in Medang, getting icing sugar for example, the kids bithdays was a significant challenge for the families in town so part of our focus in the local supply chain we managed was to ensure that they could get icing for the birthday cakes".

09.01.2022 CLEAN STATE A group advocating for action on climate change and jobs in Western Australia says it has a solution for WA’s carbon emissions. Clean State says the management and conservation of blue carbon ecosystems is one of 26 initiatives to create 200,000 jobs in WA, according to an ABC report.... Clean State Director of Research and Policy, Chantal Caruso told the ABC that WA currently has three million hectares of blue carbon ecosystem, mostly in the Kimberley and Pilbara, which capture carbon in mangroves, saltmarshes and seagrass. Ms Caruso says eighty five percent of West Australians want to see action on climate change and a strategy to increase blue carbon ecosystems in WA would contribute billions of dollars of benefits annually.

03.01.2022 CALLING FOR NYANGUMARTA ELDERS A new film project telling the story of the Wallal Solar Eclipse Expedition of 1922 which aimed to test Einstein’s theory of relativity wants to hear from Nyangumarta people who may have family stories about the expedition. 'Eclipse' will be directed by Kija man, Jeremy Thomson, whose previous documentary is 'Kimberley Man' about his grandfather, Ernie Bridge.... "The 1922 expedition was an event where a group of the world's most daring scientists basically got together and said 'we want to prove Albert Einstein's theory of relativity' which is that space and time is relevant, that the further you get away from the sun the more time starts to dilute becuase of gravity. So basically what they were doing to prove this theory was to get a photograph of the solar eclipse and look at how the rays from the sun basically manouvre around the sun when it's blocked out". 'Eclipse' will be one of six stories from the State Library of Western Australia Collection to form the WA Reflections initiative, which aims to show the depth and richness of the State Library collection. Stories from Western Australia’s history, currently held within letters, diaries, journals, oral recordings and even blueprints, will be uncovered and explored through this exciting new initiative. "Australia was supposed to have the clearest, most unobstructed view of the eclipse, there was not meant to be any clouds or bad weather to block their view. So all these different groups set up at their different positions and the one that was set up at Wallal Downs was the one that got the successful photograph". The short documentary will explore how two belief systems, those of scientists and of the Nyangumarta people, witnessed the same ground-breaking event on September 21, in 1922. "The Indigenous locals at the time saw what they were doing when they arrived, and helped them transport their gear and helped them set it up. So there's a connection from an Indigenous perspective and that's the kind of perspective that we want to re-tell this story from". JEREMY THOMSON - LISTEN HERE: https://bit.ly/2J6EtWV
