The knob legacy will always be remembered
by: Richard Whittington

Rui,
All the best with the new opportunity at Area C, it will be a great opportunity for you and will help you along your path to great things. Hopefully we will still be able to catch up once in a while and you don’t forget about your friends back in Newman.

Best regards,
Richard

P.S. I have never had anything named after me. I am jealous as you will be leaving behind two legacies at OB25…. Rui rapids and of course Rui's knob!

Another thing, make sure you pay back all your debts before you go. From my calcs, you owe the fridge about $342,583 and about 13,427 microwave meals to Syd! Replacing them with cheaper version doesn’t count.

Good Luck Rui
by: Sean England

Rui,

All the best on your career path and enjoy your time at Area C.

From a safety perspective you have been an absolute inspiration and I am pretty sure your record of a 3 hour SAO will be hard to beat.

I hope all goes well and remember OFR and EGCO, core business my friend.

Rapids, Knob....what next Rui's Range
by: Doug

All the best mate - it really has been a please working with you for these past 7 months.

Just remember the following things - never go to South Africa without malaria tablets, don't drive in South Africa and alway's maintain the "rage".....especially around safety (we have a job going at OB18 you know...it's not to late). Maybe that is the next thing - "Rui's Rage".

Once again thankyou for the support and assistance - do not be a stranger.

Been a pleasure working with and around you mate. Enjoy your move to Area C and I'm sure we'll see you around. Take it easy.

PS. We never did get you out to that boxing training...

All the best Rui,

enjoy the new experiences ahead and not having to be stuck in newman with your new FIFO lifestyle.

I still think you should put a flag on top of the island before your leave!

take care, Kylie

Tortured Medium Term Planner
by: Graeme

Rui

Thank you for your efforts at OB25. It was great that you made the time to get me up to date at the OB. I hope I wasn't too slow a learner. Your comments and concerns were always insightful and relevant.

MAC will be a great challenge for you and I'm sure we'll be hearing about you in the future.
Good luck and all the best for that fuuture.

I never did get to ride the little red bike!!

Regards

*** DeWaTeRiNg cHaMpiOn ***
by: Arvin

Hi Rui,

I am not aware that you’re the Inpit Island Master. Is it because of the Rui’s “Island” known as The Knob? For me you, are also the Dewatering Champion.

I wish you all the best. I know you can make more islands there.

Good luck on your new endeavour.

The massive island of Area C is waiting for you.

Off to the Big MAC
by: Stewart

Rui,

I've not been at OB25 as long as most but what I have seen and done so far has been an enlightening experience.

I am still not 100% sure on why you ended up having the Knob named after you, although I do think Kylie's idea of putting a flag up there before you leave is worth considering.

I was glad to work with you on site because you were never afraid to hit the hard issues to HWE when they weren't pulling their weight. Some people spend much of their time trying to be liked by everyone and refusing to rock the boat. However it's important that you are up to the challenge of telling people when things are not ok. I'm sure that that will be something you'll need at MAC, though hopefully not too often.

Lastly, I am more than a little jealous that you've managed to escape the Reso Newman-ness for a high flying FIFO site. I hope you enjoy the new lifestyle (as well as all the delights of Perth).

All the best
Stew

Hi Rui...hope not too late for me to say something for you..
Congratulations with your new role in Area C !..hope you can continue your good performance there...
Really happy I could work with you although sometimes it's really hard to contact you :) Of course I will remember you mate not just only because of "Rui's knob" or "Rui's lobes (lobes 1&2&3 pit 4 ramps)" but because of your kindness during our work.

Anyway..enjoy your new environment there..see you around.All the best for you.....
