Barra here.....tastes great and lots of it.

Rainbow Trout & Salmon from Scotland/Wales................when my grandad came back from his weekends fly fishing.

Many thanks for the kind words, mate. Sadly, the memory box is getting a bit cluttered at the moment...:wink:

When I remember some more of the good things, I'll jot them down.:yes:

 

Cheers, Bobj.

I thought all that omega 3 from the Barra was supposed to be good for the brain?

Keep em coming Bob....good uns and bad uns.

Cheers

Just read the entire thread in one sitting.

Remarkable BobJ, absolutely fascinating. Is there more?

'A Tenners Tale' would be an apt name for a book Bob.

Respect.

Some general advice. I work in mining and a few things people need to consider. There are no shortages of unskilled staff for mining. We get bag loads of applications for entry level roles. That includes truck drivers which we consider entry level. Be aware that there is not big money at this level. For example we start underground truckies on $75k for a week of nights, then a week of days and then 6 days off. You may be stuck doing this for a long time (years). Pit truckies get a bit more, but that is the single most boring job on the planet. It's not unusual for people to last one swing!

 

Do think about how you will cope working away from family. There is good reason why mental illness is very prevalent in the industry.

In addition to my personal interest, I have also been looking at the opportunities for young apprentices. Have yet to find/read anything indepth but it could also be an option for my 17 year old son. Is the training for apprentices carried out by the major mining companies or is it a generic course run through Taffe/Colleges?
