Cloud break mine is going to have 4 new mt4400s driving around soon. Probably early next year. So hit them up. If your doing your working at heights, may aswell do your Ewp aswell, as you can't do one with out the other. Also when you get onto the mine site you have to then be passed out again on the machines. The certs that you attain usually get you in the door, but that's it. The most important thing I've learnt is that if you act like a wanker theyll send you straight back. Happened to a bloke I was working with, no questions they just said, get on the next plane.
