Day 53 - Superpit

Day 53 started a bit fuzzily thanks to the beverages the evening before. We had breaky at a nearby scottish restraunt, and then headed over to the Superpit shop where we completed our inductions. We then headed off to site, where we were treated to a pit tour of this rather large hole in the ground. Not content with being big, the Superpit is also notable for mining through old underground workings - you can see the old drives and stopes daylighting into the walls.... full on.
After our eye opening tour we toured the offices, selling raffle tickets for the KB raffle.


The results of the raffle were impressive as well: thanks to Delsa's tireless efforts the raffle raised $1,388.45 for the RFDS - magic. We then met with the GM of the Superpit and the GM of KB for a media shoot at the lip of the Pit, with a representative from the RFDS along as well.
