Falcon you do seem to have a clue there is some bulldust artists on here particularly concerning wages to be made in mining and construction. The big money is made on construction projects blokes are working a 4 and 1 roster very hard slog not for everyone causes many social problems and at the end of it many of these guys wont have much to show for it except a huge mortgage. The maintenance jobs on mine wages are much lower about $130000 starting for a Rio or BHP tradie on 8/6 roster not huge money so dont let anyone feed you stories.
