From what I've been told, Kipper actually lives up near Cairns, North 
Queensland, Australia - not in Western Australia..

Maybe that's a good source of laterite!!! I know one person who reckons 
he knows a place up there, but of course he won't tell me ;)

Does anyone in Australia know of any laterite sources?
