People who’ve Googled “how to get into mining in Australia” at 2am and are tired of piecing together advice that sends them in five different directions.

I was standing in some random kitchen at 6am

Drink in hand, broke, wondering

What the f*** I was doing with my life.

Work all week. Nothing left by Friday.

My mental health was at an all time low.

This wasn't living. This was surviving.

...barely.

I'm Vicki Douglas. I'm from Chester.

And I decided right there, never again.

I came to Australia with one dream: to work in the mining industry. To operate big machinery, be part of something massive, and earn the kind of money that could actually change my life.

But first, I hit rock bottom. Pruning trees in an orchard in the middle of winter for pennies.

Then I got sacked. I wasn't going back to the UK. I had too much to prove. So I walked into a concrete plant in the nearest town and asked for a job. Face to face. Terrified.

They gave me part-time work that day. From there I networked on site, on the mixers, at the pub, everywhere. Months of hard graft, long hours, and thick skin. And then it happened, my first mine site call up.

Greenbushes, south west WA. I still remember that feeling. Finally.

Over the next decade I worked across five mine sites spanning the whole of Western Australia.

Residential, FIFO, DIDO. The big pay cheques.

The freedom that comes from earning serious money and knowing exactly how you earned it.

Now my partner, our two year old daughter, and I live in Thailand.

Free, happy, and exactly where we want to be. I figured it out the hard way so you don't have to.

This guide is everything I wish I'd had on day one.

Let's get you on the mines.

They told you to stay in school, get a good job, buy a house, and work for 50 years. Maybe you're still in that matrix right now, wondering how to get out.

Breaking free from the UK is the hard part. Once you're out, getting a job in the mines is the easy part, if you know how.

From where you're sitting right now, with tabs open on visa subclasses, ticket costs, and job boards you don't fully understand yet, it's completely understandable why it feels overwhelming.

No wonder most people spend months researching and still don't know where to start. I have the answers.

I've mapped out the path and laid out every step for you to follow yourself.
No guesswork.

Just a clear route from where you are now to your first FIFO roster, and if you read nothing else, read Part 4. It's the piece most people never figure out, and the one that changes everything.

The right order. Nothing more, nothing less.

Justin is practically family. Vicki has known him since he was five years old, she was fifteen. For years he talked about coming to Australia.

Years of the same job, a hectic life, that still didn't push him over the line. When he finally came, we gave him one thing, the exact sequence.

Which visa, what to pack, what to do the moment he landed. He had three job offers within his first month. Not because he was lucky.
Not because he knew anyone.

Because he had the steps.

That's what this blueprint gives you, the same steps, in the same order, that took Justin from years of fence-sitting to on site in under 30 days.

Now We are 3 - The Free Range Humans.

Vicki, Amy, and our two year old daughter. A family of three who decided life was too short to spend it stuck. We used the Australian mines as our launchpad. We earned hard, saved smart, and built the foundation for a life we actually wanted.

Over a decade of real Western Australian mining experience between us, FIFO, DIDO, residential, underground, surface, processing, construction and the might Port. As the years went on and the bank balance grew, the mines had served their purpose.

We used mining as a platform. And what a platform it was.

I loved every minute of it. There is something special about being part of something that big.

I wouldn't trade those years for anything. But for now, we travel, live, and learn.

We are currently in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I am booked into a year long Muay Thai course.

Amy is doing Thai cooking classes, and our daughter is just along for the ride.
Something a little different to mining, something to fill our days.

Mining made this possible. It can do the same for you.
