I reckon the hardest part would be finding the energy to do much after a full shift. By the time you've eaten and sorted yourself out, it's probably getting close to bed anyway.

Do the days at camp end up blending into one after a while, or do you find ways to keep yourself occupied? Always wondered what people get up to between shifts, especially on a longer swing.

One of my mates swears he found a kangaroo thigh bone but I’ve never seen it

Recently started a job as a trainee blast crew member (surface, WA goldfields), I have worked in mining for five years mainly in exploration drilling. Was wondering if anybody had a source for any legislation or policies that would prevent a colour blind person from applying for their shotfirers licence?

I have colourblindess but it has never caused me any issues whilst working (I only really struggle with certain shades of purple and blue). I have heard it is illegal for a colourblind person to hold a shotfirers licence, however I have also been told it is not in the medical assesment and there is a few shotfirers out there with colour blindness. So far i've found nothing online so am hoping somebody can provide a clear answer for me.

Anyone worked at bald hill doing fixed plant for Minres ? Been offered a gig there on a 2/1, moneys seems a bit low low 200s

Or is that about right for 2/1 ?
No HV yet tho

On Seek there seems to be hundreds of job adverts for this position constantly, and apparently they're so selective in hiring that they are strictly after highly experienced people 🤣

It makes no sense at all to me. Apparently to get competent in operating these vehicles requires a C class licence and like a week or two training. So why the hell do these companies even want experience when they could hire newer people for less money??

Or is that untrue and there's actually months involved in training someone? Which seems difficult to believe
