    It’s not bad, rough on the body though. It’s pretty clean in comparison to mine site work in the dirt though

      Reminds me of the first episode of Smiling Friends when one of the main character’s father starts complaining about working in the ‘bloody mines all day’.

        In Australia you can make a great living from it if you can handle the sacrifices you make.

        Away from home for 3 to 4 weeks at a time 12 hour shifts with half hour travel each way to and from camp ontop.

        Most places you do your own laundry but meals are provided.

        Most of the jobs are also in the hottest most remote parts of Australia too where temperatures routinely reach the high 40s.

        But you do that and can earn over 200k a year with just an apprenticeship behind you
