Crazy and sometimes worrying times up here right now as you can imagine, but there is no time like the present to get a start in this industry so make google your friend and register on Seek !

Peace out and be good to each other

The Grosvenor mine in Moranbah is nowhere near ready for further mining after the explosion in May.

Grosvenor mine is Moranbah is still down but they have been able to keep a lot of the workforce occupied and on the payroll.
It's probably another 2-3 months till it operates again.

I see Peak Downs took a battering the other weeks with some decent wind/rain.

We are still ticking along here, lucky at the moment but next year is going to be tight but targets are still all high.

Im going to have to look around after Christmas for that 9800 lego kit, prices calmed down yet?
