Day 51 - Long Victor

The next morning saw us out at Long Victor a mine only about 5 km out of Kambalda to meet the guys at the weekly safety meeting. Organised by Heinz the donations were encouraged after a breaky BBQ that saw the guys toss $413.80 into the collection bag for the RFDS.

After the meeting we accepted an offer for an underground tour and what a tour. Going underground we toured the whole workings which are large and were expertly guided by AJ who was every ready with an answer for the myriad of questions. Being half reasonably large scale mechanical mining and half air leg this was a real treat!

Neil was rather impressed with the underground BBQ set up all ready for a quiet crib break - bug change from those coal mining restrictions!
