70% and then what falls under that is your agriculture and your fishing. So we've got significant canola fields and things. And then of course we have our port. And then that port is essential because we do have some iron ore that goes through there, but essentially it's gold mining. And one thing I will actually say is in terms of we get no support really from the mining industry for building housing.
They are now really just building mining camps even in the town. And then at one hand that does help us free up some of the houses. But mining camps are everywhere. And I mean we're talking like I live in Kalgoorlie Boulder which is right in the middle and that's our population of 30,000 people. And we've got a significant number of schools and that is your main area right smack bang in the middle of a huge, huge place.
And of course mining goes up on each route and down. In terms of other things obviously it's the workers that work around to help the people that actually supply the other services so that you've got heavy industrial areas where people can get parts for all sorts of things really for the mining industry. And in terms of reliability, we just know mining is gonna be there forever.
