Day 7 - Ensham-Middlemount

Monday found us at Ensham for lunch, having attempted drying out our gear at Jolliffe’s place overnight. We had a great reception at Ensham – Ian Neilsen (another BMA veteran) lined us up with the GM Peter, who was keen to check out the bikes having done round Australia bike trips himself. There was a good turnout at the BBQ, including Neil’s brother Ian, who works for Jolliffe on site and was able to take the time to come and wolf down a burger at the BBQ that was put on by ESS.

All told the lads at Ensham forked out $420 for the RFDS, which Peter vowed to match on behalf of the company, and ESS also offered to match the value of the BBQ with a cash donation – we were stoked by the generosity of all on site, and the keen reception we got on site – thanks Ensham.
We then packed up and headed off to Middlemount to stay the night with James Geer, aka Geerbox, another Moranbah Rams front row lurker.
