Flying Miners

Over 100,000 workers currently hold a unique place in Australia’s mining industry. They are the FIFOs: Fly In Fly Out miners.

Mining has been booming for years, but the good times cannot last forever. … Bust is always just around the corner.

Everyone knows that FIFOs earn good money. But mining money can also be a trap. Bigger wages brings shinier toys and bigger bills and before they know it, they’re bound by the ‘golden handcuffs’.
