Wednesday, over a coffee, we caught up with Chris Baird while he waited for his flight home from Onslow airport. It was terrific catching up with him on his ‘home’ patch and learning all about Chevron’s Wheatstone gas project and the logistics of a workforce of 6,700 that work and reside 33 kjm outside of this iconic nor’west town of just 600.
Chris has spent about three and a half years in this isolated bush location and will gladly finish up around September. But he looks to be thriving on the lifestyle, which certainly hasn’t diminished his alacrity and elan.
As we plum forgot to get a picture of the event I have had to fudge a picture or two that will really bring to mind an image of this quintessential working bloke.
He had on an Aussie bush hat bigger than this .
His hat reminded me more of Bluey from the Aussie comics of my childhood
That’s the Chevron Wheatstone project pictured from 4 mile creek just out of Onslow.
All the best to you, Chris and Janelle
