Meet Charlie, the best little gas plant in Australia
Video describes QGC's Charlie Project. A gas plant located in the Western Darling Downs Central Queensland. The video looks at the creation of the Charlie gas plant from an individual workers perspective - from building gas wells, pipelines, roads and ponds. It describes how it was completed ahead of schedule and with a great safety record to now be producing natural gas - able to supply 50% of Queensland's gas needs.

The Surat Basin --Australia's Clean Energy Capital
A wave of transformation is breathing life and economic vibrancy into regional centres across the country, with around $270bn in energy projects currently planned or underway.
All of this activity in the resources sector is igniting a property boom in hub towns such as Chinchilla, Roma and Miles in the Surat Basin, and savvy property investors are set to benefit.
These billion-dollar projects are designed to help meet the soaring global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG), the emerging clean placement fuel for coal, and coal itself.
This demand is coming predominantly from international export destinations in Asia, and more specifically China, which is experiencing the largest mass urbanization in history.
Infrastructure hot-spotting expert Flynn De Freitas from Omega Investments predicts that over the next ten years, the number of large or tiered cities in China will increase by 37, to 143 cities of at least a million people.
Clearly, international demand -- along with Australia's own domestic energy needs -- isn't expected to slow any time soon.
While all of this activity is all good news for the Australian economy, it also represents an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for property investors to secure high rents and strong capital growth in one hit.
De Freitas has been charting the property prospects of the Surat Basin for some time, and he believes the local real estate market offers strong returns to investors willing to take the plunge.
The unique and vital nature of the energy industry presents property investors with an opportunity to invest in Australia's new energy towns, he says.
These are towns where a social contract between the energy industry, government and local communities means that the billions of dollars in infrastructure investment by the energy industry is matched by millions of dollars in government social investment in local communities.
De Freitas says these social investments makes these communities more liveable and attractive for workers within the energy industry, which ultimately ensures that property investors enjoy sustainable, long term property growth -- thereby avoiding the boom/bust risks of mining boom towns.
The Surat Basin has been dubbed by some as Australia's future energy hub, with the emerging Energy Town of Chinchilla set to benefit from an impressive array of planned infrastructure projects worth billions of dollars.
Two of the largest infrastructure projects in the Surat Basin are the $15bn Queensland Curtis Island Liquefied Natural Gas (QCLNG) and the $20bn Australia Pacific Liquefied Natural Gas (APLNL) projects, which have both commenced construction.
They will involve a peak construction workforce of 6,500 in the Chinchilla region, dropping to a low of 1,400 over a four-year period.
The Chinchilla property market has already been richly rewarded by the energy industry, with the 2004-2006 construction 25km away of the Kogan Creek Power Station, which entailed 1,000 construction workers and 300 operational workers, virtually all located in Chinchilla, he says.
This $1.2bn energy project saw annual median property values rise by over 20% for three straight years... and contributed to the 11.9% average annual growth rate over the last 10 years to 2011.
De Freitas says these phenomenal growth rates all now look to be superseded by the QCLNG and APLNG projects.
Given the impact of one single $1.2bn project, the next decade of growth for Chinchill's property market looks very favourable indeed.

Exploring an Abandoned White Women Mink Farm
The explore
I saw this location on YouTube video as someone exposed to location and I went the following day to the location and again to take more pictures and inside was completely trashed from arson attack that happened in March 2019 inside the property there was lots of leftover documents from when the property was in the hands of a local recycling firm and there was loads of floppy disks and also loads of still images including photos from the owners who used to own the property also the property is very water damaged from the weather and also the water damage was from the fireman that put out the fire also some of the rooms are in excellent condition but upstairs isn’t the same as downstairs as the fire was mainly upstairs on the third and second floor
History and information
Fire destroys roof of White Women owned by FC Environment
The roof of a disused house which went up in flames has been destroyed.
A burnt out shell of a building remains of White Women house, which has been unoccupied for more than 10 years.
Once a mink farm, the property is now owned by FCC Environment, formally Waste Recycling Group.
The house has not be used for more than 10 years
But it was abandoned after the landfill site next to the house began producing dangerous levels of methane gas.According to Parish Council documents, FCC have not used the building since 2006.
Chairman of The Society, Mike said: White Women was built in the 1910s and the Nicholson family were the first owners of the house.
Mike, chairman of The Offham Society, said how White Women was once a mink farm The original name was, Lowthorpe house an old English apple variety, as it once sat within an orchard.
When Nicholson died in the First World War, his wife had to pay death duties. She was left bitter as she was forced to sell the house and move away.
According to Mr Rowers , the name White Women came from the ivory fur used for women's coats, when the house became White Women mink farm in the 1960s.
Officers returned to the scene the next morning to carry on investigating the source of the fire
But as fur fashion lost popularity, a family - the Chapters- bought the property and lived there from around 1980.
Later in the decade, the quarry next to the house became a landfill site for metropolitan rubbish.
As the mounds of waste grew and methane levels crept up, the Chapters family moved out and the building was used as offices from 1991, until the air became so unhealthy that it was abandoned in 2006.
White Women has laid derelict ever since.was blocked off as officers fought the blaze

Miracles in the Hatching: Behind the scenes at World Science Festival Brisbane’s ‘The Hatchery’
In an Australian-first encore, Queensland Museum’s Patrick Couper steps up as ‘surrogate mum’ to loggerhead turtle eggs. Precious eggs collected from Mon Repos (as part of the world-renowned Queensland Turtle Conservation project), incubated at exactly 29.9 degrees and miraculously timed to hatch ‘live’ before 120,000+ crowds each day of the blockbuster World Science Festival Brisbane (22-26 March). For Patrick, the experience is akin to becoming a first-time Dad: sleepless nights; pacing; and, in place of the delivery room dash, a ‘slow and steady’ drive with precious cargo from Bundaberg to Brisbane. Don’t miss The Hatchery, a free event during World Science Festival Brisbane, firmly staking its claim on the It’s Live! in Queensland calendar until 2021. The only festival on the planet where you can witness the moment tiny loggerhead turtles pop their heads out of eggs – a cycle of life normally hidden from view, deep beneath the sand. In the words of Crush, the turtle: ‘Righteous. Righteous!’
