Life on-site, laughs off it — and plenty of stuff no one warns you about.
In our very first episode of the Blokes in Mining Podcast, Drew and Dave rip into what it’s really like working away — from mental health battles and mouldy dongas, to missing birthdays, dodgy camp food, and the pressure that chews you up if no one’s looking out for you. Oh, and in this ep the big issue of who sh$t on the deck!
This isn't a Hollywood version of FIFO life — it’s the real yarns from two blokes who’ve lived it. Whether you're on the tools, waiting for someone to get back from a swing, or just curious about what life in the mining game actually feels like — you’ll get a laugh, hear some hard truths, and maybe walk away seeing things a little different.
