  • Come on a journey with me and experience travelling across the world to work in the Australian Mines.
    In this video you will see what life like flying in and out of camps, exploring the city of Perth and what the camps and rooms look like, the food you eat and some of the work I was doing!
    This was a big change to my initial plans but sometimes you have to do what you have to do and I can't wait to show you some of the adventures and what this opportunity has allowed me to do.

    Did 15 years FIFO in WA, eventually got a job on the Kwinana strip and don’t have a trade. Better roster, home every night and actually get paid better too. Met some great people out there. Good luck mate. 🍻🇦🇺

    My husband has been with BHP for about 12 years now, it’s great. He’s a train driver, great roster, he’s home with us for two weeks at a time. It’s a great job if you can handle being away from your family each swing.

    Perth is hawt, the mines are hawtter but the wet season storms are majestic💪👍. It can be a tough life, but look after yourself both physically & mentally and you can have a really great lifestyle. How anyone can afford to live in Perth outside the mining absolutely amazes me
