The falcons are back!
The final days of winter saw some wonderful news at QMAG’s Parkhurst facility in Rockhampton, Australia – the much loved (and respected) resident peregrine falcons are nesting!
Yes, after hanging around the facility all year, the fastest animals in the world are once again nesting high up in our Deadburn building.
Electra is nesting in exactly the same spot as last year and it’s beautiful to see the bond between these two with Falco guarding her and the nest from close by. He will give her food gifts, and depending on the kind of guy he is he will also take turns incubating the eggs over the coming 30 days or so.
We don’t know how many eggs yet, but last year she laid three.
Interesting that despite quite different climates, the QMAG peregrine falcons seem to have synchronised perfectly with the breeding pairs in Melbourne (Victoria) and Orange (NSW), who have both laid three eggs each last week. Fingers crossed for the breeding success of Electra & Falco and their distant cousins as it’s never easy.
We’ll keep you posted over the coming weeks.

Our industry has two important roles to play: providing resources and protecting our incredible natural environment.
From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 4 - Water Management
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.
