Patterson Street, Whyalla
Patterson Street, Whyalla, on a Sunday morning. A man walks his dog across the road. The photographer describes the town, "I spent the first two weeks of this trip in the township of Whyalla. I found it to be a very challenging town to work in due to the fact that it seems to be a very fractured community. These images were taken in the old part of town, which I found to have a nice established feel to it. Most of my time was spent around this area because the One Steel factory was located nearby and I was waiting for permission to go and made images inside the plant. Whyalla is one of those town that you either love or hate depending on your employer. The people employed by One Steel were very settled and loved the town, whereas a large percentage of people employed in other areas had very negative opinions."

OneSteel Plant, Whyalla
The casting shed at the OneSteel Plant, Whyalla. A worker is standing on the bridge above the steel being cast. The photographer describes the factory, "In February 2012 I was asked to build a body of images on the town of Whyalla. The One Steel Plant at Whyalla is without doubt the heart of the community and as such I felt it was important to record the blast furnace and the conditions the workers faced on a day-to-day basis. This task wasn't as easy as I first thought, in fact it took three weeks to achieve what I had set out to do. The transition of the Whyalla Steelworks under Project Magnet to Magnetite Feed has changed the iron ore pellet process from a dry to a wet process. Magnetite ore is pumped via a slurry pipeline from the mine to the steelworks and results in benefits to the Whyalla community by reducing the level of fugitive dust emissions. Project Magnet has also fostered the use of covered facilities for loading iron ore and the relocation of the crushing and screening area to the mine site, which has resulted in further improvements in environmental conditions for Whyalla. Over a two hour period I was lead through the blast furnaces, as what can be described as hot, exhausting conditions. I was really impressed with the scale of the operation and it was interesting to see the final product after watching the ore being extracted from places like Iron Knob and The Duke."
