That kind on money can be earnt but it will not be working for the likes of BMA (Unless your are a Superintendant or better), it will be with a contractor at a lower rate, doing more hours and on a ****** roster.. Great money but lots of divorces..... |

If you are in the mining industry and you are paying too much tax, you need to see a decent accountant or a financial planner.

after spending near on ten years working away from home.. ive bailed on the mines for a bit...
i'll take the pay cut, cant put a price on just being at home 24/7.. and bumming on my couch is priceless, something ive never appreciated.. very surreal walking away from something youve done for so long.. not too big bad or scary though, ive landed a job in the city working on mine equipment... ![]() |

Yeah, it's not everyone's cup of tea. Chasing the almighty dollar has messed up a lot of relationships............. I know of lots of blokes that have gone up and hated the place..........

I like the idea of Tasmania, but I don't hear much about the mines down there, there is one in Bendigo here in Vic, I know one of the guys there but he was saying they only wanted qualified diesel fitters nothing else. |

Damo, did you know they are doing exploration for brown coal a bit in VIC now? I found out the other day when I saw protest signs...LOL Anyway, it might be a few years off but there is hope for Victoria yet. Im not holding my breath though, ill go where ever. FIFO, or residential, dont care, let me (and my family ![]() Just got to wait until June now. Good work PB...having the option to change it up is something alot of people dont have or are to scared to do.

Yeah but I did notice the Premier talking about it the other day too.
I do agree the impacts are large, but I had to LOL when I read a comment on a blog about Bacchus Marsh...to the tune of "it will be the best thing for the region, they should level Bacchus Marsh and Melton and call it Melton Marsh". A little harsh but it made me laugh. There is not much going on in that part of the world, they have a rail network aswell. Victorias economy and industry is going to poo, the state needs something because qualified people are all moving interstate to work. I know I will if I have too. We have had the La Trobe valley for ages, whats the difference? And while it doesnt help entirely there are some new(ish) techniques to try and clean up brown coal a little. Still, its a dirty game but we all want to power our plasmas and PS3's so what can ya do. No on is really investing in anything else.

Found huge amounts of coal less than half hour from my home town in Vic, but the locals don't want the trees and **** flattened. Wowsers!!

Mining work will happen regardless of what enviro peolple think. So you may as well accept that and get on board the money train. I do 6 weeks on 2 weeks off in port hedland. Making contacts is the best way to get into mining. 80% of the jobs dont get addvitised because its the age old its not what you no its who you no

my girfriends mother is suffering from what looks like coal miners lung.
(she's still not toatally diagnosed, but from my own research this is what it points to)... She has never smoked, BUT lived (not worked there) directly across the road from the ipswich coalmine for 20 years........ I would think twice about going anywhere near a dusty place like that.

On th otherhand i was underground and came out with only the whites of my eyes visible. Most jobs have risks, all the safety gear is offered if you want it.
