Hi we have four children, my hubby does fly in fly out from the east coast to wa 14 day on and 7 days of, we found it was better financially to stay on the east coast and pay for the flights, but now the company even pays our flights, my husband operates a drilling machine and earns 200000 a year all his food and accomodation and travel is supplied. we were earning 100000 at the mines in nsw. we have gone from broke to really well of with 4 investment properties, all thanks to the mines.
