Goldfields
Red dust in the door channels, and a gatehouse that needs the paperwork first
Stock held for Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the Goldfields is matched to the camp, the yard or the house, and the delivery is quoted to that gate. Heat, red dust, mine-site rules and hard ground decide the job. Kambalda and Coolgardie sit in the same allocation. A stop at Southern Cross is a long way short of Hannan Street and should be named as itself.

Town
Roster weeks and a garden shed that will not do
Kalgoorlie, Somerville, Lamington, Piccadilly, South Kalgoorlie and Hannans are 6430. Boulder is the other half of the same town. Household storage, a tradie's lockup, and gear for people who come and go on rosters are the ordinary uses. A garden shed has a window and a latch a screwdriver understands. A shell has solid doors and no glass.
Gates
The gatehouse had never heard of the truck
What stalls a mine or a camp is rarely the ground. It is an induction nobody booked, a name not on the list, or an hour the gate does not take deliveries. Send the site contact and the paperwork before the day is confirmed. Industrial yards in town usually accept a long shell.
Dust
Keep it out of the channels
Fine red dust gets into everything left open. Door seals that still meet, and a shell that sits level, are what keep a parts store usable. Look at the rubbers before the unit is reserved, not after it is full of fittings.
Heat
Fumes and a shut box are a bad pair
Goldfields afternoons cook the inside of a closed shell. Tools and steel cope. Fuel, aerosols and batteries do not. Let air move if a generator or a quad must live in there, and only after the fuel is drained. Coolgardie, Kambalda, Menzies, Leonora and Norseman are in reach when the road agrees. Williamstown and West Lamington are town drops under another name.
Gatehouses, rosters and dust
The gatehouse had never heard of the truck. What should have been sent first?
The site contact, the induction, and the delivery window, before the day was confirmed. Ground is rarely the reason a goldfields gate fails. A name that is not on the list is. Send it with the order.
Roster weeks leave the house empty. Why not a garden shed?
A shed has a window and a light latch. A shell does not. Add a lock box, face the doors where they can be seen, and ask the city how long it may stay on a house lot. Drain fuel from anything with a motor.
Thunder shut the track to a prospecting block. Do you still roll?
Not if the road is closed or the gravel has gone soft. We wait for it to firm and for room to turn. Name the track when you book so a town drop and a lease are not treated as the same hour.

Town house, camp gate, or a prospecting track?
Lamington, a Boulder yard, or the road to Kambalda. Include the gate rules if there are any.
