Pioneer leaves Australia farm for Phoenix after 18 years
John L. Hayard, 65, exits his outback Kimberleys irrigated farm near Kununurra after 18 years of droughts and pests. He recalls pioneer days, notes Ord River Dam gains and regional potential, while diamond and mineral finds nearby shift future hopes beyond cotton. Hay plans to return to Arizona, saying he “made money” and is retired.

Coal strike impact cushioned by stockpiles and mild weather
The 10 week United Mine Workers walkout paused Eastern coal output and raised prices but stockpiles at home and abroad, plus mild weather, kept the economy from a steep dip. Analysts cite reserve levels, delayed effects, and a 38 percent wage rise agreed for the miners as the strike ends.
