Well, I am back at work now in a new job and I was thinking as an executive in this agency I might do less travel. Well it is not international but I am travelling. Since returning from Perth I have had to make 3 mine visits. two have involved overnight stays and the third was a lot of driving. One involved a 60 minute flight to a mine I had not seen before and that was interesting. We arrived at sunset and as this is the dry seaason the sky was brilliant orange as we headed off into the mine village for induction and dinner. Then a day's work before flying back to Darwin in the late afternoon.
The other two mines so far have been sites I was familiar with from my 17 years working here before I went off to Vienna in 2004.
When we are on these missions we may be conducting audits against environmental criteria, carrying out routine inspections or, more rarely, investigating accidents and incidents. So there will be no details here as we could be collecting evidence.
Another mine trip will be coming up before long I am sure................... watch this space
Another year for the travelling and ageing mining and environment adviser
