half my good friends have all left to go and work on mine's mostly kalgooly(i think thats the spelling) adn olympic dam. the advice i was give from a couple of them were. save as much cash as you possible can and take a trip to these places. in kalgooly a mate of mine applyed for 5 jobs before lunch apparently and had 3 call back in the after noon, and a 4th from a company he didnt know about.

I may be able to to a contact or too from a mate thats just got back today from roxby,

If you dont want to travel that far away... you may want to get in contact with Australian Zircon..... They are building a brand new mine not to far out of Murray Bridge, i see it everytime i go to Adelaide.... im sure they would be hiring soon and you can still cruise back to the city easy....

Good Luck

Hey mate, was thinking about getting a job in the mines myself. I know it isn't SA but they were advertising in last weekends Advertiser for people. www.regentgoldmine.com

hey just wondering if neone else has noticed that on this site they are asking for people to pay $9.99 for information/cd.

this dosent seem right to me at all

i posted my reply on ns.com but i'll post here too. I go there once every 3 months for work and its defintiely a thing i'd do if i didn't have a family, if your single then go for it! I've got about 5 mates up there at the moment all pulling 130k per year, have been offered 3 jobs making this sort of money but its just not worth it in my situation!

I'll pm u my contacts i have up there.

is it something u can do if u dont have any qualifications?

u can but its a lot harder to get someone to give u a go, its not like it used to be where they will just take anyone on. It costs them a bit to hire someone nowadays so they wanna get there moneys worth!

If you are condisering mines you should also consider onshore rigs (mostly oil and gas here). FIFO, ususally 2-2 rosters i think. Some of the contractors are Ensign and PDI. I did some engineering work over summer with an oil and gas company based in town and went out to the rigs SA/QLD. Looks ok. Have you thought about FIFO from mines in WA? Thats worth a look too.

had a mate doing that but they would only fly him to perth and he had to pay his flight to kalgoorlie!

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
