Port Wakefield

And beyond the military's presence, at least 42 Australian military facilities are accessed by US defence contractors, some of the biggest weapons manufacturers in the world, which use Australian sites for manufacturing, testing and training of weapons systems deployed by militaries all around the world.

Lockheed Martin, for example, assembles guided missiles in Port Wakefield, South Australia.

Northrop Grumman signed a multi-million dollar deal contract this year to build rocket motors for guided weapons at Malawala, New South Wales.

And a collaboration with US manufacturers will promote allied interoperability and provide a second source of critical munitions, said the Australian Defence Force.

There's a new development from Walker Corporation called River Lee.

which is about halfway to Port Wakefield, just about.

And no one would have thought that in their wildest dreams that would have happened.

And they're selling for over a million dollars, you know, just standard homes.

Oh.

I used to drive from Port Wakefield to get to that.

[laughs]

You don't, you don't just eat 'em at 2:00 in the morning, though.

No, any time.

I used to...

Yeah, I would drive in the afternoon for a lunch, go all the way from Port Wakefield just to get one of these lamb gyroses.

Wouldn't need anything else with it.

Just towed a three-ton caravan through the Northern Territory and the rich economy West Australian highways.

Worst bitumen experience was from Port Wakefield to home.

Absolute shameful, says Sad Maka.

Yeah, it is a bit sad, isn't it? I had the privilege of last Christmas going to Singapore and Malaysia.

Brian, good morning.

Good morning, Graeme.

A few years ago, I was going to Port Wakefield, and it's 110 up there, but I was in about 100, and I saw a pothole at the last minute.

I couldn't swear if I hit it, so I pulled over, checked the front left-hand front tyre.

Yeah,

but you can stop in like Port Wakefield has some charges.

RAA has done a pretty good network of EV charges.

I think there's a couple down the York Peninsula as well, but I'll figure that out when I decide to go down there.

I just noticed the Port Wakefield one last time I went there and went, oh, let's tuck that one away for later.
