[clean brewer]

Congrats CB! Bloody happy for ya mate! So where will you be basing yourself now? God's waiting room Harvey Bay :lol: ?

Cheers mate, the Chat I had with you helped with the decision to move on.. Ill be still in Hervey Bay to live but will be flying out of Toowoomba on their own Aircraft like this...


So, it'll be good to see Mum and my Sis a bit more and maybe drop around to some Brewers houses on my Pilgrimage back to the bay every 2 weeks, I will be very thirsty after 2 weeks off the booze.....

You can drink after your shift, most mines will perform random drug and alochol testing on some if not all workers each morning (just a breath thest if all employees - thoughsome will be asked to piss in a little cup)

Just have 2-3max the night befor and u will be sweet the next day


I am a mining enginer and have worked up at Argyle Diamonds (Kimberly - WA), Emerald QLD (coal - Bowan Basin) and am currently in Singleton (coal - Hunter) and they all operate like that. most only do random selection of workers say 3-5 workers for a piss test but some do a breath test for all

gday mate,

i was on the build of dragline 4 for over a year and we were on an 8 day shut just before the flood hit, on the last night of the shut they had to cart us out of the pit in troop carriers because the bloody high wall was falling in from the deluge, so much for safety on site




cheers

Dave

 

[schooey]

Here comes the water...



and it here it is drowned

 

[yardy]

nice shots, my mate was on the pump crew for months so i saw all the progressive shots, the dragline actually fell forward as it got washed out from under the shoes, bent shit out of the boom and then it sat back up as it washed out under the back, i know blokes that were on the cleanup and rebuild, apparently the entire house was full of mud.

Nice shots schooey - flooding and hydraulics are my areas of expertise - maybe I can charge my time looking at the forum to research now

 

[clean brewer]

Well. im off to Toowoomba tomoz to get a nice nights sleep before I head off on my 1st hitch on Monday for 2 weeks, heading out near Roma on a new 24hr Rig, cant wait.... :super:

It will be the hardest 2 weeks first up away from the Family but ive spent some quality time with them Camping for the last week.....
