That's a tough ask with out major strain on your relationship, has your partner worked away before? Working away in the middle of nowhere is not the best but acceptable (with earning decent $$$) however during his 6 days off this can possibly become a lonely time, yes he will be in perth oz in the glorious sunshine etc but knowing he won't be seeing family then he has another 8 days to look forward to at the mine. And like other people have said Ok he will be making decent money but after he has payed accommodation and food/bills etc for the 6 days off and transferred cash back to the uk with the not so good exchange rate the. Spending more on flights over. To see him for the 6 days max in which he has off (going through the mental stress again on leaving to head back to the uk) is it really worth it ? I worked a 2/3 rota in the uk (weeks) which I done for over 2 years we then emigrated to oz and I commuted back once thinking I could do it no probs as I was use to it however after that one trip back I handed in my notice. The distance was to far Regardless of the money that was getting made family and spending time together was more important there are plenty of other jobs around :-) Good luck in your choice but that is a big ask also remember he could be working in 40 + degree heat every day
