These photos are of the place that I work. I am working away from home in a rural town in Western Australia called Dampier.
The main business here is the mining of Iron ore. Its dirt thats worth more than gold.
Working so far away from home is hard, even thogh the $$$$ are amazing. Whats even harder is being away from the love of my life, my 58" samsung plasma tv..hahahaha sorry baby (Im going to be introuble for that one!)
The work here is interesting, I am in Engineering so have responsibility to up keep and design new equipment on a daily basis.
Some of the photos on this post show the beautiful scenes that I see day in day out. Dampier is situated on the coast so is surrounded by water, which means that when working on the wharf marine animals are often sighted, from turtles, all sorts of fish and sharks.
I hope the sacrafice Im making now pays off in the long run. There are allot of sacrafices that are made! You loose allot of sleep due to the long hours, when everybody is partying back home, you are usually working or sleeping and miss out on allot of your youth. The rooms you live in are really small and after a while the walls close in on you, it takes a good mental strength sometimes, to keep your self strong and not let it get to you. It eventually catches up, and "sooner or later it all comes crashing down" (NERD).
