Mt Gordon Vacation Work

I have just finished my first 9 days at the my Gordon copper minesite, situated roughly 125km north of Mt isa and 250km South of the Gulf Of Carpentaria, and 200km from the Northern Territory border. Myself, along with fellow scholarship holders Felicity & Luke are currently working there. For my first 9 days I worked in the Grinding section. I am really enjoying it; the people are great, the scenery is awesome, and well, the bar after work is pretty good too:) I've had some pretty interesting experiences, almost every afternoon without fail a storm would roll in, and there would be an incredible lightning show, nothing like ive ever seen in Brisbane. Also, some afternoons I went for a walk down to the lake near the camp, only to find a pack of wild pigs, which can be quite dangerous, i jumped straight up a tree when I saw them. There is a multitude of wildlife there, ive seen 5 or 6 crocodiles down at the lake, pigs there is wild dogs and apparently some water buffalo as well. The rooms they have us in arent crash hot, and the food isnt very good, but it makes up for it in the money we earn:) The work there isnt easy, and most afternoons I would come home covered in mud, but its good because every 9 days we get 5 days off for some rest and fun.
