Hi there I was just wondering what this bug is I was working in the Pilbara, In Western Australia it is about the size of a cockroach.

Hi Felicity,
This is not a cockroach, but a Longhorned Borer Beetle in the family Cerambycidae. Your photo is extremely blurry, but we believe, based on the markings, that this may be an Acacia Longicorn, Penthea vermicularia which we located on the Geocities website of Brisbane Insects.
