people in the mining industry

I have worked on these remote sites all over Aust. for the last 24 years. The facilities are now top class with separate rooms/Austar to every room/Gymnasiums/pools/ wet mess etc and TOP quality food every day.

If you can stand the heat and the isolation then you will love the lifestyle. Most of the sites are very unionised and the work ethic is fairly casual.

Do it Bill even if it's for only a year or two, if your careful with your money you can really get ahead.

The biggest problem on these remote sites is gambling, it's nothing to see thousands on the poker table everyday after work.

If you go then make sure that your employer provides accomodation, if the site is near a town then the rent in town will be HUGE.
