From my mailbox:
Pilbara Mine site
These pics were taken by one of the NRW crew at Cloudbreak this week.
It took a total of 5 hours for the snake to finish off the goanna.
As you can see, they put some signage up so it couldn't be run over.
Incidentally, I attended a ‘kenduri’ (wedding buffet party) last weekend, and Ramli was kind enough to save the leftovers of food left by guests for the dogs in the factory. Sorting out the food, which was mixed with tissues and some plastic wrappings, I saw wastefulness over and over. We have yet to realise the folly of wasting food because we have not experienced hunger in this land of plenty. It was evident that the waste resulted from those who took more than they can eat.
He used to work in the factory as a general worker and later, he opted to work as a watchman and it was during this period that he developed a special bond with Brook. He needed Brook’s company to give him confidence as a watchman at night. He would bring leftover food from home specially for her, even though the factory has more than 10 dogs at any one time.
Brook’s sister, Sam is one of our two dogs at home. But both sisters could not get along which was why they were separated. Besides, Brook’s agility amazed as well as confounded us as to how to keep her without using chains, because she could easily jump over our fence! I can still remember the first time when we wondered how she could be outside when all the gates were closed!
Anyway, Ramli was touched by Brook, the most intelligent of the dogs. On a recent visit, Brook greeted him and put her paws on his chest and Ramli described it as though Brook was asking him, ‘haven’t seen you for a long time, where have you been?’
Ramli gave me a hug when greeting me at his son’s wedding kenduri, and before I left, actually mentioned in passing that we are like ‘saudara’ (or relatives) and that meant a lot to me.
