Great money and work but an absolute crap lifestyle, living in the middle of nowhere in accommodation that's not fit for an animal..
And the only thing to do is drink and spend all your money at the pub. If you can handle the isolation, and can be sensible with your money go right ahead..

there in lies the problem for us residents in "the middle of nowhere". the more FIFO or DIDO the less the government/councils invest in the regional towns hence basic infrastructure fails.
everyone wants the money the unions have fought for over the years but few want to live locally to support the towns/unions to improve on what we've already got. the big 3 miners are loving it.
