Now that's an abbreviated greeting. Finally back in Gladstone after a week at the mine.
Very interesting week actually, as most weeks out there are. Managed to get pinged for a few different things, mostly not my fault. The 2nd day I got kicked off site for an out of date fire extinguisher, so I had to walk back to the stores and book out a brand new one, luckily they had them in stock. Then I got told off twice for a insufficient flashing beacon, I managed to talk my way out of that one too. We have a replacement one back at work but like most things it didn't get done in time.
However... once we got through the slight issues the rest of the week went fairly smoothly, it was busy but not as bad as last time I was out there. Usual sort of faults, 2 way radios and am/fm radios to repair. Usually aerials wiped out by large rocks, as can happen from time to time.
The food seemed to go downhill a little bit this week, usually it's pretty good but this week they must have had a trainee chef or something. Nevermind, it was better than nothing, and for free, who am I to complain.
Well, unfortunately I haven't got time to write much more right at the moment as there are several things I ought to be doing, so I'll upload a few pics from the last week to keep you all entertained until I get a chance to write some more. There goes that voice in my head that reads stuff speaking Australian again... Chance is one of those typically Australian words.
Here's a dozer and a dragline and some other bits and pieces.
CIAO.
