Either an Australian ex-pat up a mountain on a contract, or just some regular Aussie, probably in broken Hill or something.
Well, lets see how wrong I can be.

Well....
The Patagonian Andes stretch from around Bariloche in Argentina down to the end of the mainland (Rio Gallegos)-see map.

I was all set to pompously post some links about mining in Patagonia, but after starting to read a few of the articles, it is clear that this warrants further investigation and there's alot more to the story (but isn't there always?). Expect further posts after the working week is over. Given the turn I think this is going to take (e.g. environmental, rather than culinary), this is very likely to be the wrong thread.
