hi all,,

from my experience the mining game is a lot of luck and timing!! i was fortunate enough to basically been offered a job on the recomendation of a friend which just proves the saying its not what you know but who. sometimes the lure of big coin over west can grab people but i have settled for an above average wage and excellent lifestyle in the newcastle coalfields with my family and friends just minutes away. having said that i dont want to be busting my guts my whole life hence why i'm on here..lol.
FIFO is great for a single person but can put some undue stress on a relationship.
my advice would be to find out all the mobs in the game and face to face it. a lot of mobs are getting quite corporate but are still mostly run by miners and can appreciate a straight up approach.

cheers
