Welcome
"The Furnace"

Welcome to the Furnace

29/8/2024

 
Introduction!
Well here we are, in Marble Bar and just two short months ago I was freezing my butt off in Melbourne. I was standing at the patio doors of our Coburg home, looking out towards the lights of the mighty MCG and home to the Pies. My beloved Collingwood Football Club, thinking about the tickets I had for the Friday night Pies Vs Dee's clash. I thought "shit" it's actually too cold to go to the footy tonight. They had hail and 4 degree's that night, the Pies won so while that warmed my heart, my toes weren't happy. 

The following day was miserable in Melbourne, with our 7 year Pilbara hiatus starting to feel like an eternity. I drove to work thinking I need to head home to WA. COVID had kept us away for some years and today the 29th is my brother Scotty's birthday. We lost him during COVID, unable to return for his funeral and hard to be away from the family during a tough time, like so many others. It was time to pack up the car, the doggo "Harriet Hoova" our 5 year old Boxer and the Mrs. (Not necessarily in that order) and head off for another Pilbara adventure. 

The Marble Bar CRC position beckoned me, Australia's Hottest Town, I thought why not! It's a terrific opportunity to get back to living and helping out in a small community and be an active member of a great Aussie small town, with some really genuine people that absolutely love life in the Bar.    

Having a tourism background, I'd like to use this forum to share a little about life in the "Bar" as I call it, can't image that will catch on and answering any "Burning Hot" questions you might have about Marble Bar, the weather and surrounds. 
So Welcome to "The Furnace" from Australia's Hottest town.
