Hey Keithy, I’m always watching hahaha. Persistence, hard work, and always rocking up to do you job and doing with passion will get you places. The hard days of working as a shutdown contractors was awesome but some of the dirtiest and hardest work you can think of. So glad I could be apart of your travels in life mate.
Keep up the always awesome work and great video content.
Hi There, Great segment. However, how realistic is ones "focus" on what they want to do if they have no experience and no knowledge of tasks behind each title? I am also informed that one should present a "mining" resume in order to be hired and no cover-letter. Is this true? Thanks.
Hey man is there any hope to get in even if you got bad knees? Like truck driving or anything. I’m only 16 but damages me knees pretty bad
Heya mate, cheers for the advice. Great to get a bit of an insight into the life of someone like yourself when considering FIFO work 👍
Can ya help me get in
Hey mate, I drove rigid/semi tippers in Melbourne for 5 years and want to go to the mines now. I can go and get R11 tickets etc, but they all want years of experience for tipper/haul truck jobs. Do you think there’s a way around that? Think i can’t use my references because it wasn’t on mine sites and the trucks were a lot smaller!
Hello am in Ghana doing Gold business and i want a serious foreigner to do the business with like buying and selling
Great advice man, looking at relocating to QLD in the coming months

Hey mate, just curious. What’s the youngest age you have seen in the mining industry? Thanks mate
I read online that some people work at a site for 6 months and earn enough money to take the rest of the year off is this true and realistic or are they just talking it up?
I’m from Indonesia to be exact Bali. I have experience in the coal mine as a komatsu or caterpillar 785 dump truck operator. I really want to be able to work in Australian mines, can you please help me.
So basically fake it tell you make it brother?
If you want to get into mining the first thing you need to do is move to the resource powerhouse that is Western Australia, don’t pussyfoot around with pansy eastern states mining.
Is there air con heater in the rooms?
I recently recruited a newly found Gold Mine, and amazingly on my Ancestral Family Land (Im Native American) I love working here, I’d like to think of it as like My Land is providing for my family and me.
Would love to learn how to drive dump trucks .
Hey man, love the videos… could you give me some advice… I want to move with my family to Queensland, which towns (not city) would be best to live in that I can do FIFO? Preferably somewhere by the coast.
Is there an legit internet page where I can find a fifo job? Please.. I need a recommendation.
Is there a lot lizards in camp site, have a phobia of em
Im convinced its a rigged system. Ive been told twice by mining HR Reps (not on the record) that i need to be a woman or Aboriginal. Ive been trying for 12 years since and have more tickets than a roll of toilet paper. Ill keep trying but i still think the recruitment process is unfair to all that apply.
Can a Filipino Mining Engineer could work in Australia?
