Diesel/petrol mechanic working in underground mining.

i've worked all over the country and also in Kazakhstan for a year. No i didnt see borat. F&^K it was cold though.

i work on underground drills, trucks and loaders (google Sandvik for pics). Usually around the 40 tonne mark. these machines are either electric over hyrdraulic or just hydraulic.

Great money (which is paying for my 1600 resto), 12 hour days, it's not hard work.

Free flights, accommodation and food. beers and bourbons start from $2 at the bar

Been doing it for four years, will be doing another year or so then thats it, had enough.

Good money but sh*t lifestyle!!

still beats slogging my guts out as a mechanic in sydney for $650 a week
