  • Roster: 8/6 - 7/7 Day/Night available
  • Three mine sites within a larger project - all near town
  • Short 1.2 hour flight from Perth - direct charter

Camp & Facilities

  • Permanent B2B room accommodation
  • Solid mess meals provided, plus discounted pub feeds 3x per week
  • Regular camp BBQs with a good social atmosphere
  • IGA and town facilities nearby
  • Great local bakery
