About Me

My photo
I'm like any other uni student. I like clubbing, parties with friends and surfing if I can get a chance. I grew up in Townsville and miss my great friends there, the strand and maggie, but I still get time to have fun in brissie. I'm studying Civil and Construction Engineering at QUT, and I'm finding it a lot more interesting than most people would think. I'm also doing a mining minor at UQ at the same time so that I can work in the mining industry. I hope to work on mine sites once I graduate, because I love the friendliness in small towns, and it's always more fun to brag about being involved in massive projects. Drop me an email at andrea.dale@connect.qut.edu.au if you want to know more :)

Explo

At the start of November, I again saw first hand, the industry's commitment to further education. With such a skills shortage, and the industry attempting to fill positions in creative ways, this is necessary for every company. I was able to attend Explo in Melbourne. Considering my strong desire to learn more about drill and blast engineering, this was an awesome experience. Surprisingly enough, I was straining to remember a few things from the uni statistics subject from a few years ago. It was pretty cool to meet some senior people in the industry, who have spent their lives in drill and blast. Melbourne was pretty fun as well, but I can't say that I'm keen on the weather, especially with the sun up well after 8pm.
