What do 35 miners in a bus smell like ?

What do 35 miners in a bus smell like. Surprise.... OK...!
Personal hygiene is very very good.

Big fans everywhere...

Everyone wears "longs"... Long sleeve shirts and pants. Definetely no shorts. Everyone sweats in the humidity and the heat. The clothing that you would wear is not worn the next day.So everyone is fresh as a daisy. Otherwise you would be singled out and some-one would let you know pretty quickly. And, it would be bought up during our pre-start discussions at the beginning of the day. I have very rarely smelt body odour. Everyone uses good deodorants and showers constantly. We were advised to stay away from floral deodorants like Lynx as they attract sandflies and wasps. In colder climates people wear the same clothing day in, day out until it looks shabby or too dirty. So they smell...
Over in the West, you perspire a lot, with shirts and pants constantly dripping wet, but you dry off just as quickly.
Miners unwritten code:
Out of respect to fellow workers you must never remove shoes or shirts ever. Not in the smoko rooms and never on the bus. Only when you are back at your Donga. Sleeves are never, ever rolled up. Also, no dirty uniforms, singlets and sweaty gym clothes in the Mess.

Acclimatise: You can work and survive in this heat as long as you are hydrated and rest when needed. Everyday, 2 workers from our company are tested at 10.30 am for hydration. A simple urine test at First Aid. 76 workers across the whole site have been admitted into First Aid for Dehydration in the last 3 months. We are reminded every second day to hydrate.

Downside: The need to go to the toilet twice a night.....

Screenshot of my Iphone at 4.07am. 30 degrees already.
Yesterday was 40+ degrees so I am looking forward to 9 or more days of it. The only thing that is missing is what it feels like because they have not applied humidity to it. Simple, just add about 2 to 4 degrees...
Would I prefer the Winter cold of Melbourne or the heat of the Pilbara? It's the same. You keep out of the rain and cold. You keep out of the heat.
Truthfully, this heat is pretty oppressive and very hard to work in. It is tough out here. But give me the heat..........!
Apparently winter is just perfect. No rain and high 20's. God's Country...
