Wet Weather Mining | Homelife Challenges | Pit Pilot Yarn

Send us Fan MailWhen the rain rolls in, the work doesn't stop — and neither does the pressure. This week on Blokes in Mining, we're getting into what it's really like to keep dirt moving when wet weather hits the site. From slippery haul roads to waterlogged pits, we talk through the challenges of maintaining productivity when Mother Nature has other plans, and why the job still has to get done no matter what the sky is doing.But it's not just what happens on site that weighs on a bloke — it's what happens when you pull into the driveway. We have an honest conversation about the reality of coming home after a long swing: the exhaustion, the mental load, and why sometimes you need a few quiet minutes before you can switch from "mine mode" to "dad/partner mode." If your family has ever wondered why you don't just walk through the door ready to talk, this one's for them too.And Dave's Diary is back!
