Thread: My Exciting Life (as seen through an iPhone)

Flying in to minesite in the Wet Season






Home for much of the year (in various different places)










It's probably fine

Taking a 5,000 ton alluvial gravel sample


























Um...


...Yep.










Whoops.


That seems...


...reasonable?


Rehabbing the pits from the alluvial sample

Very good gimp, much better collection than I've got from there.

Some good pics in there Gimp, broght back a few memories

Sweet pics gimp, you got any photos of what you are looking for?

I've done a bit in the sorthouse, I'll find some of the photos I took in there.

~5ct stone on the sorting table



~1ct stone




Should have some more but they're on my external HD somewhere.

Dude, you dont need a new camera. Your doing just fine with your phone!

Neat, theres something about gold and diamond mining that appeals to me, guess thats why they call it a fever

G'Day Gimp,

Thanks for the fantastic images!
Like NZ, Australia can be a bloody hard country, in it's own way!!!

I can't help myself!
When I seen the image of the collapsed Roller Bearing, I immediately started thinking what needed to get done, to get the plant (a separator?) back up and running.

Nice bit of $Color$ there Gimp!!!

Doh!

That bit of the plant is a scrubber/screen. Had 2 days of downtime as we didn't have spare bearing of the correct size on site... It can be hard being 1,000km away from the nearest thing to civilisation in the NT.



Diamond mining is cool, the end product is much more interesting than a truckload of copper ore concentrate or something.

Played in my dads sapphire mine a few times. Hard work but nice to see the end results, mostly worn by Mrs Spiker.

Cool idea.. I might start to do the same at wk

The iphone takes better photos than I thought it would.

I enjoy these posts, very interesting.

Cheers.

Neat

Looks pretty exciting too me.I loved the Northern Territory when I was there. Cool pics
