After lunch was great. There was talk of pastefill amongst other things. Pastefill is essentially tailings (waste) with cement added. This is pumped into the voids underground, and work can continue underneath, or adjacent. I would prefer to work under it than the natural ground, because it's an 'engineered' product, and you know it's capacity. Rock on the other hand, can be pretty unpredictable.
Dinner after the seminar was pretty good, and I met a lot of people during the day. Unfortunately I had to leave the dinner around 10pm to get some sleep for the drive back the next day :(
My car got completely iced each night, here is the remains after an hour of driving.
Not nice to think that you will see both sunrise and sunset while driving, but it's still pretty.
There is actually a shire called Bogan Shire. Including a "Welcome to Bogan Shire" sign.
Not my River...
Here is my creek though.
I even had to follow them back in Bris!! I can't escape them!!!!

I like your blog, pls post more journal, especially about your day in the mine site.
There's not too much more to say at the moment :(. I think that's the only downside to Vac work - having to go back to uni..
At the moment I'm just in Bris, doing my third year of engineering. I work in the Brisbane office of a mining company during semester, but site is where all the fun is.
I don't get back on site until Nov. :(
So what do you do?
