Roxby Downs

It's predicted severe storms will likely continue tonight and produce damaging winds, large hailstones and heavy rain that may lead to flash flooding.

Locations affected may include Marla, Coober Pedy and Roxby Downs in the north of the state.

This is ABC News.

So

Roxby Down, I think that's the South Australian one, isn't it? Olympic Dam.

Olympic Dam.

Is

Roxby Down still around or not?

I don't know.

I'm not as familiar with

Absolutely.

I mean, I've worked with independent schools in Singapore, Hong Kong, Islamic school, Jewish school, Anglican school, Catholic school, a little baby BHP school in the middle of Roxby Downs in the middle of South Australia, to Bondi Public School, to Western Sydney, to university, to early childhood.

The conversations are exactly the same.

Yes, there's nuance.

But if you think about regional Australia, one of the things that always strikes me is that Australia's regional labour markets are, by world standards, enormous.

I know that, for example, there are people who live in Streaky Bay on Eyre Peninsula and they go to work in Roxby Downs, which is 800 kilometres away.

people working in the central west of New South Wales, close to Lithgow, won't think twice about really having a commute of up to 100 kilometres.

So new opportunities are being created and one of the things about the shift in energy that we're experiencing now is that there's actually more demand for labour with the shift to electrification than there is under the existing system.

So there could be some decent rainfall totals out of that, but then it sort of crosses the border and heads up into the NT.

It doesn't really go through parts of the northeast as much, so somewhere maybe like, uh, Moomba or Marree or even, uh, down towards like Roxby Downs.

They'll probably miss out on the rainfall when that comes through.

It'll generally stay a bit more to the north of it.

Mm.

But you did go up to Roxby Downs with Matthew Nix for a sportsman's night.

Mm.

And, uh, you came back, I think, feeling fairly comfortable Murray was going nowhere.

Both AFLW teams won.

What I want to get to, though, Chaddy, if I can, because I'm genuinely interested in this, Roxby Downs had a sportsman's night on Friday night, and you wouldn't believe it.

It was headlined by Matthew Nix and won Chad Cornes.

So...

Sold by McGain again.

I like this text.

This one says, as Vinnie from Roxby Downs said, just heard Cornsy speak highly of Matthew Nix.

I just want to say that Chad is a genuine star himself and thanks for a wonderful...
