“Hello I’m 20 something years old from (insert foreign country), I’ve done a year of non-mining related menial labor, and I want to go work FIFO in Australia, can anybody point me in the right direction”
I’m not even from Australia, I’m a diesel mechanic in the US who would go work overseas if the opportunity arose after I have acquired MUCH more experience. I am well aware I am under qualified to warrant a company getting me a visa, moving me, etc. AND I already work in mining here in the states.
Nobody is going to pay to fly over someone with absolutely zero relevant skills, so can we please stop asking about it and talk about cool stuff like big equipment and explosions? Thanks.
Someone probably needs to post a tiktok of a services contractor pumping shit out of a crib hut or pump crew balls deep in coal sludge trying to recover a pump instead of the fluff they put up.
I don't reckon they would. The wedgies we deal with at site make the survey UAV plane and m300s look like play things. I've had two come at the m300 from both sides but managed to get away. Others haven't been so lucky. They usually attack from above and tear shit apart.
I remember walking through the bush at one site setting out a clear line and came across a clearing. A couple of nesting wedgies sat there looking at me like a piece of meat. I'm 6'4 but I still got the fuck out of there. They get pretty big.
I think they just want to f*ck everything in their airspace. I used to think it was just the mavinci or trinity, but the bigger quads are on the menu too. Fortunately the closest we've had to a takedown is claw marks on a prop and airframe.

Nah most of them probably haven't even dealt with boot snakes. 😅
