| Summary |
For more than a century the hamlet of Yarloop, in the south of Western Australia, has lived off the bounty of its soil. Its majestic jarrah forests made it one of the world's great timber centres; its pastures nourish a thriving beef and dairy industry. Now some people fear that the earth may hold the seeds of Yarloop's demise. Under the ground in the nearby Darling Ranges sit vast deposits of bauxite which are dug up and fed into a huge refinery as part of the cycle to make aluminium. This process, it is claimed, has been poisoning people in Yarloop |
