Xmas 1983 in South Australia: pulled a 10 day shift during the closedown period maintaining the crusher and ball mill at Mt Gunson copper mine (just south of Woomera). 55 degrees at 3pm, 6 days in a row. Was 65 degrees inside the ball mill. Only permitted 10 minutes inside on the end of a harness and rope before you were swapped around. Drank about 15 litres of water per shift.
