CANCELLED Field Service!

G’day All,

As most of you may be aware, it was my birthday on Monday. However, it wasn’t the best birthday I’ve had. I had to go to central Queensland, Blackwater, to do some field service. Well so I thought anyway.

Monday I travelled to Rockhampton via aeroplane then to Blackwater via 4WD. I spent the afternoon catching up on some paperwork, as I wasn’t due at the coal mine until 6:30am the following morning. I had dinner at the local pub.

Then on Tuesday I went to the coal mine and did the 4hr long induction (which stays current for 12 months). Upon completion of this, I then completed a shutdown specific induction. From here I went to see the contact person on site, only to find out the work had been completed by one of our competitor companies! GRRRRRRRRRRR not happy Jan!!!!!!

So I travelled back on Wednesday, not very happy about the lack of communication on behalf of the contract company doing the shutdown work.

On Tuesday afternoon, I took some photos of the Japanese Garden in Blackwater. I thought this a most unusual feature of the town, but quite nice all the same.

Cheers for now,
Damo
