Life in a mining camp
Rooms, wet mess, fatigue, heat and time off site.
Expect a donga or compact room, wet-mess rules, early crib, heat, dust, and little privacy. Some people love the simplicity and the savings. Others last one swing. Neither reaction is a moral failure — it is information. Visit a town first if you can, rather than signing a FIFO contract from a hostel in Bondi.
