Ranger Uranium Mine

Everyone "down South" has an opinion about uranium mining in the NT so I went for a tour of Ranger Uranium Mine to check it out for myself. It was very colourful with the Arnhem escarpment as a backdrop, big piles of yellow sulfur, the colours of the open cut pit and the orange safety vests of the tourists.
