Nor West Friends

The Pilbara region of Western Australia is a place where people from all around the world unite to work on the large mining and oil & gas developments. They work in hot and often challenging environments and friendships are forged in the red dust. Like the early pioneers of the region in the 1860’s those residents who live and work in the Pilbara have become affectionately known as ‘Nor Westers’. They work bloody hard for six days a week and by Saturday afternoon they are ready to rest and relax with their ‘Nor West Friends’.
