This is a little taste of life in a mining exploration camp in Western Australia. The nearest major city is Perth, 1000 km away. Most people here work FIFO (fly in fly out) from Perth, on 8:6 rosters (8 days on, 6 days off) or 2:2 (2 weeks on, 2 weeks off). Average daytime temperature in summer is above 40 C, you work 12 hr days from 5am to 5pm. It might sound shithouse but all the buildings and vehicles are air conditioned, wages are high and all your meals are provided. At many larger camps for operating mines you have facilities like gyms, golf simulators, swimming pools, tennis courts etc. ‘Dongas’ are the little temp housing blocks we all live in.
Yep that’s a camel outside my accom in the last slide. There are over a million feral camels in central Australia, stemming from when they brought over Afghan Cameleers in the 1800s to help with exploration of the interior
