Until very recently we had as many theories to explain Fast Radio Bursts as we have observations of them. An explosion of data is coming, if not here already, and thus it is an opportune time to understand how we can use FRBs for cosmology. The HIRAX experiment, based mostly in South Africa, will be one such experiment, designed not only to observe large numbers of FRBs but also to localise them. In this short article we consider briefly, some ways in which HIRAX can change the landscape of FRB cosmology.
