Nifty

This is a recent arial of the mine. You can see the village on the right-hand-side and i work on the far-left-hand-side of the mine.

Some Photos

This is the dining room (not too shabby)

This is the gym (not used it yet)

This is the village area (see pool in background)

Here is an arial photo of the village. This is an old photo - the village is much bigger. My room is up in the top right hand corner.

Here I am....click to enlarge

Hello From.....Somewhere in W.A

Hi, I am doing fine. The mine site is ok, the village is pretty cool - it has a gym, tennis court, bar, swimming pool, bistro (which looks like a sizzlers) pretty nice spot - real bush-like.

I work 12 hour days (up at 4:30am) go for breakfast, catch the bus to work at 5:30am, catch the bus home at 5:30pm, have dinner, ring ben from a pay phone, then head back to my room and generally asleep by 7-8pm.

2 weeks to go, I will be flying home on Thursday 30th November (great birthday hu?) but I get to see my boys, so that is a good trade off.

Lack of communication up until now. My mobile is with Optus and wouldnt you know...Telstra mobiles work out here! I havent been set up with a computer yet, so no email etc. My boss left today to go to Perth, so I jumped on his computer and here I am.

I have been busting to go to the gym, but dont have enough hours in the day! I wake at 4:30am, which is 7:30am NSW time and finish work at 5:30pm, which is 8:30pm NSW time, so by the time i have dinner and head back to my room, it is so late and my eyes are hanging out of my head.

Food is good, weather is hot, missing everyone.

Take care now
