You working for FMG themselves or a contractor like Ausdrill?

Cloudbreak is just another big mining camp...

Facilities are adequate...

[meatbag]

I'm at cloudbreak, much better place than the other sites I've been to.

decent food, reasonable amount of women, decent salaries, great roster.

This.

Clownbreak isn't bad, not the worst place I've been by a good measure.

I've just finished there, most of the rooms are good, some of the blocks have paper thin walls though, so crap for nightshift.
Food is ok, big enough camp that there is always enough of a choice to find something you like, full strength piss is a plus (there is a four drink pp rule but it is very rarely enforced).

Airport/site is close to camp, so very little travel time.

Don't know about $, but there is plenty of eye candy.

Worked at both for multiple contracting companies. MUCH prefer cloudbreak to chrissy creek.
The only thing shitty about cloudbreak is if on nightshift some of the dongas are literally right next to the main access road (semi trailers, water trucks, work utes) freakin painfull.
Seems to be a happier vibe at cloudreak too.

[Rich]

It's hot outside and the flies are very friendly...

^^^hahaha yeah, worked a short time on construction at christmas creek, eating lunch i could literally grab flies in my hands it was pretty bad.

[Commander Keen]

Xmas creek 2 is coming online shortly, there's going to be a buttload of construction/plumbing etc jobs available early next year

[michael]

Some companies have already filled positions, so I was told, wouldn't take it as gospel though.
