"ATTENTION ALL Pilbara Rugby League are looking for a jersey design for our representative players to wear at the end of the year. Something that stands out and people can identify with the Pilbara. Please Send in your thoughts and entries to cnewman@nrl.com.au if we use your design you will receive a jersey of that design once completed. Entries close Wednesday 15th May"
Thought I would post this for them if anyone is a decent designer.
bit of info for anyone that needs it:
The Pilbara is a large, dry, thinly populated region in the north of Western Australia known for its Aboriginal peoples, its stunning landscapes, the red earth and its vast mineral deposits, in particular iron ore. It is one of nine regions of the Regional Development Commissions Act 1993, and is also a bioregion under the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA).[1][2]The region has an estimated population of 48,610 as of June 2010.[3][4] The Pilbara covers an area of 502,000 km²,[5] which includes some of Earth's oldest rock formations. It includes landscapes of coastal plains and mountain ranges with cliffs and gorges. The major settlements of the region are Port Hedland, Karratha and Newman.The area is known for its petroleum, natural gas and iron ore deposits, which contribute significantly to Western Australia's economy. Other than mining, pastoral activities as well as fishing and tourism are the main industries
Alternatively, The Western Australia Gas Industry claims that the region takes its name from pilbarra, an Aboriginal word for the mullet and that the name was derived from the Pilbara Goldfield, discovered in 1885, which was itself named after Pilbara Creek (originally spelt "Pilbarra") a tributary of the Yule River
"Most of Australia's iron ore is mined in the Pilbara, with mines mostly centred around Tom Price and Newman"
