Wow that's big. It's almost like an artificial Grand Canyon.

Thanks for sharing these, the second really shows the scale of the operation.
Why are you carrying a rifle in the first one?

K7 with 10-17mm FE. Just glad that there wasn't two pits as a comment like Nice pits may have attracted a few more looks?Nice pit. My brother drives one of those trucks in a Hunter Valley mine.

No rifle, just an odd shadow?
Best regards
Too far from a shore.

Just a candid.
the pit from the viewing area. Those small trucks in the distance carry many many tons of ore.
Have a look on Google Maps etc, it's rather large.
