I've done a bit of work out in central Qld but I'm currently more involved in the Waste Water management industry. Working on a backup power generation NCS system at the moment though.

Cool, I gotta say working underground is a whole lot more exciting for me then open cut, Everything is more difficult underground!

Better to be based in Brisbane then, once you get too far out it gets very tedious. I spend around a 1 month per year trawling around Mackay and Moranbah. Least favorite time of the year. Not to mention being seperated from the R!

Cheers,

Yeah I've had it lucky this year, I haven't been out there at all. Spent a reasonable amount of time last year out at Moranbah, Dysart and and Blackwater.
Actually speaking of Dysart and Underground mining, have you seen the Qld Mines and Rescue Services GAG jet engine?
One of our senior engineers automated it at the beginning of this year.

Johnny,

Dont happen past there much on the weekends, although it is part of my bi-weekly spirited drive home from work in gosford though! Anything to bypass the roadworks.

Cheers,

Mitch
