Remote Camp Living


Just a quick update to let everyone know, that the open pits that I have been working on just south of Kalgoorlie have now been completed.  So I am being sent about 3 hours north to a mine site between Leonora and Leinster.  I am rather happy about this move as I will be put up in a camp.  I will again be living in a donga, but this time there are a lot more facilities, including a gym and recreation room.  The other massive advantage with living in a camp is all the cooking and cleaning is done by chefs and cleaners.  This will make life a lot simpler and save me a lot of time, effort and money.  The only down side that I can see is that I will not have internet access while I am away (stupid Optus).  At this stage I believe I am going to be there for around 6 weeks, with my roster being 13 days on 1 off, then 13 nights on 1 off.  I believe this will be a pretty tough roster but by the end I should get a good pay packet having worked so many hours.
Anyway, I will be off the grid for a while.  I should probably have a few stories to tell when I get back.  Until then, I wish every one well.
