We’ll see how that ends up once I graduate next year. Video brought back memories of some of the best and simplest times I’ve lived so far. Cheers

Its either be in conflict 12 hours a day while labouring or be good to the people you’re around. You also don’t want to press a some of the boys who throw 30kg steel rollers around like children’s toys 😂I loved the respect people give each other up there. I have also never laughed harder in my entire life than when I was up there.

@proxactual
@proxactual Жыл бұрын
Work you do: very dependent on the role you've got. Most people start off in a big ass truck hauling loads of dirt up and down long drive ways, literally for 12-hours. Rosters: depends on the mine. Most entry-level mining roles will be 2 weeks on, 1 week off. That means 1x a week of night shift, 1x a week of day shift, 1x a week off back home. You may get lucky with 1 week on and off, or 2 weeks on and off. It's rare that "miners" (rather than office staff, engineers, geologists) would be on an 8 days on 6 days off roster. Food: Again, very variable based on the contractor. Expect lots of staple veggies, roast meats, roast chicken thighs, and curries. Breakfast is a traditional hot-and-cold affair similar to any buffet breaky you get at a 3-4 star hotel. Your lunch (crib) is usually cold meats, salads, fruits, and servo quality pies you can stick in an oven when on-site. Accom: not usually in a motel like this. Usually you have small rooms with a basic bed, bar fridge, shower, and toilet inside. To be honest, you won't want more than that - you'll be asleep soon after calling home anyway. A lot of camps will also have a communal bar and gym too. Bars only serve mid-strength drinks, and you're usually only allowed 4 per day.

Props to you brother for showing the way of the fifo worker and just how brutal it is! People often talk about the usually quite good pay for the fifo worker but this shows how much you sacrifice. Stay strong brother. I do a lot of dido myself and have so for 13 years now. So i know the feeling of staying away in some shithole place but it's not as tough as what you're doing. Side note, you must have to be in bed by like 8 o clock to even survive day to day with those massively long shifts. The long travel to and fro site looks like a killer.

See where life takes me, I'm loving the army so far but I think it would be cool to work in the mines as an Elec Fitter and/or Sparky (hoping to get my A-grade during my time at a unit). All I know is I have both options of discharging or dropping to reserves after my minimum service and heading to the mines or staying in and ranking up. Happy with either but like previously mentioned, see where life takes me. Cheers for the vid mate 🤙🏿

Lots of construction with renewables and they wanna build two big pumped hydro plants (borumba damn and pioneer burdekin). There's a hydrogen thing going in in brisbane supposedly. Rare earth mining is rumoured to be taking off one day(not sure how easy or hard that will be to get into if it does). To be fair once renweeable plants are up and running they probably don't offer the same amount as permanent jobs as like a coal mine but yeah there's a lot of stuff going on for a while just in energy and generation alone. Coal mines are still around and in South West Queensland there is all the gas operations as well. Working in the gas would be similar to working in the mines. Probably not as dirty tho lol haha.

That site you’re at I consider luxury bro. The real MVP’s go out to the guys smashing their guts out at disorganised, run down, disgusting places where the food is almost inedible and the management don’t care about you. Stay safe man

Good work brother, I personally couldn’t do it. I worked away from home on and off for a little bit. Hated it and quit the job pretty much right away. But hats of to you brother keep going mate.

I can see you stayed at Mayfair Motel in Emerald.. Try a mining camp next time and do 3am PT. We can do AM PT together. Plus you're on the above ground kestrel coal site...

If you are getting up at 3.45am working 12 hours 6.00am to 6.00pm it takes 50 mins to get home at 6.50pm you have 55 minutes to have dinner then if you want 8 hours sleep which you really need if you are working a 12 hour shift you are in bed asleep by 7.45 on a full stomach, that’s ruff

I work in the Canadian oil sands, pretty much we have the same life way up here, except our camp, fortunately is located on site, so my bus ride is only 5 min, I spend that 5 minutes doing what you do, looking at my photos of my son, and I suppose, I got lucky with the shift I'm on now, 8 days up 6 days back, but I'm about to go on a 22 days on here before Christmas so it's gonna be tough

Yep remember waking up at 4.30 am and at telfer the temperature was already 25 - 30 degrees. That's why I always asked for nightshift.😂😂
