Eastern Grey Kangaroos
Fauna and Flora at QMag's mine site with Dr John McGrath Part 3: Eastern grey kangaroos
Synonymous with the bush in Eastern Australia, eastern grey kangaroos abound in tropical grasslands and open woodland including QMAG’s Kunwarara mine site.
The joeys (juveniles) are sometimes like young humans – they hang around Mum for what feels like a very long time. At some point they get far too big for the pouch like this older joey, and Mum will refuse to let them in.
Kangaroos have adapted to the long dry and occasional wet cycles of Australia’s climate by having the ability to pause the development of foetus in dry times and breed prolifically when conditions are favourable.

Mining at Kunwarara brings its own unique challenges. The magnesite mainly lies inside a shallow aquifer which makes mining impossible without first controlling the water.
State of Origin - QLD vs NSW
Ah, the State of Origin—where New South Wales and Queensland go head-to-head in a rivalry fiercer than a kangaroo on caffeine! It's the time of year when families are divided, friendships are put on hold, and everyone suddenly becomes an expert on rugby.
From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 3 - Mine Planning
With the geological models from drilling and sampling, we create the Kunwarara mine plan. This plan identifies the most suitable, quality magnesite available in sufficient quantities to feed the beneficiation plant.
