Me with a real miner!

It was so interesting to see what Andy has actually been doing for the last 10 years and experience what it is like to be underground. It is one of the few jobs where nobody else knows what it is like and after my experience there I have a lot of respect for the people who work there.
That evening, after scrubbing the coal off our faces, we had our last meal in Moranbah with mum, dad and Kate which of course in true Aussie tradition had to be a barbeque! We went all out and ate loads, had a few drinks and then retired to bed for an early start for the drive to Rockhampton in the morning.
