Greetings Peter,
Just visited your Bougainville (BCL) website. Great stuff!! Spent approximately 2 months of every year from 1980 to 1986, servicing the hopper scales at Anewa Bay and around the island. Worked for Toledo scales then on contract to BCL. Enjoyed the work immensely and have fond memories of the place (especially the sports and fishing club) I reported to a Mr Kirt Chuck - Not sure of the spelling, but believe he was of German extraction. Do you know of his whereabouts. He was based at Loloho at the mine offices there , not far from the bulk store shed of copper concentrate. I'd be interested to know his whereabouts. I see you're based at Nelligen. That was a holiday destination for my family and 2 mates for many years (Lyons reserve used to maintain the camping ground there and meals were supplied at the Steam Packet motel across the road (We all like fishing) Enjoy the lifestyle !
