BA1343/16 /1 Derek Keene Halls Creek Shire - scenic view

Another typical rugged Kimberley scene, this one taken 25 kilometres from Halls Creek on the Duncan Road. I climbed well up into the hills to snap this shot and others, but I liked this one the best. There is still a lot of gold in these hills, as this area is not far from the Brockman where much of the early gold came from.

Halls Creek Airport During 1996 word got around that the Halls Creek airport was going to become an all weather facility. New drainage was going in and one runway ws going to be laid with bitumen. With this in mind I sent Malcolm up to take some aerial photos of the runway before anything began. This is the best of those photos taken in June 1996. Work on the runway started in November.

1996


Halls Creek Airport Despite being troubled by the persistent wet season the contractors were able to finish the new bituminised runway and associated works early in the new year. However it was later in the year before I was able to send Malcolm up to take some photos of the new runway. He did a great job in taking the photo from exactly the same place as the 1996 photo. This is very hard to do from a plane, but the two photos match perfectly.

The Police Station complex 1993

Early in 1993 there was news going around that the town was going to get a new jail complex and some new police houses were going to get a new jail complex and some new police houses were going up because the old ones were full of asbestos. So once again I called on Malcolm to do a bit of aerial photography for me, with the whole police block of land firmly in mind. this photo shows the entire police block as it was in March 1993 before any building had began. The new jail did not turn up until October 1993, the new houses were built in 1994 and the new police station in 1996-1997. Even the new jail had to [be] relocated in 1997 to make way for the new station. The photo below was taken just four and a half years later. What a difference a few years make!!

The Police Station complex 1997

When I asked Malcolm to take the annual aerial photos of the town I gave him the 1993 photo of the police station complex and asked him to take the 1997 photo from much the same position. I was hoping they would match up, just like the two airport runway photos seen earlier in this album. Comparing the two photos on these pages, Malcolm and the pilot did a great match-up.
