I adventured back to the outback after a pretty cool christmas (although i had to fly back up here on Christmas day). This time was different though, this time i was working night shift. I can't say it was bad, i rather enjoyed it actually. It wasnt so hot, the flys were gone, and managed to have some enjoyable times with some of the younger guys that work here. I only had to work 8 shifts this time, and spent most of my time in the flotation circuit. This 8 days culminated with a large barbecue on thursday morning, a bin full of beer, a pool made of an old polytank, and the worst sunburn i have ever had. Lets just say the flight home on thursday afternoon was a very sleepy ocassion.

Hi Mitch, I am trying to get in to the mining industry. Is there anyone you could refer me too maybe? Any help would be heaps appreciated. Live in Brisbane and am interested to move to Mt Isa and Work in the mines there. Thanks for your Time mate

sorry for a late reply, i didnt realise i had a comment haha, they are pretty rare. The best advice i can give you is that there are so many mines out there, some number of thousands of job vacancies on seek. Its not that hard to get into, I know of people who have gone from desk jobs to driving trucks. As far as refering you to anyone, I don't know many professional miners apart from those at Gunpowder at the moment.
