Trish currently works for Adani Australia at the Carmichael Coal Mine as one of the Site Administrators. Prior to that she was at Rugby Run, another Adani project but this was building a solar farm out near Moranbah in Central Qld.

Listen in as we discover she is made for these roles and thrives on switching from task to task and urgent needs from many team members. Lots of golden nuggets about rosters, working with blokes and starting life again in her early 40's like so many of us. A new friendship is brewing and maybe one day, a ride in that hot orange car of theirs!

Why did they ask Mad Mumzie? What does Mackay's Mayor think about it? Strange going to Mackay Council Headquarters with a camera crew and saying "I'm here to see the Mayor."

A random Facebook message changed everything, was it legit? Research and a chat with a TV Director in Denmark was the beginning of an epic 2 day adventure… The programme is similar to our ABC's Foreign Correspondent. I was to speak about how mining affects our country and our town as they share a story about the draught here in Oz. What might be causing it?

In Denmark they have no mining, so they can't relate to why we keep doing it. Jakob, the Director did 1 year in Townsville and 3 in Brisvegas doing his Journo degree years ago, so he understands our culture. I wouldn't have agreed if it was another "your killing the reef, anti Adani" perspective. I don't need that target on my back and they would not be open to absorb my thoughts.

A chat on the phone to meet the Director and find out their why and why me, helped me decide. They didn't want just people in suits. Were looking for down to earth Aussies, and somehow they came across me. After 30 hours travel and plane delays they arrived in Mackay. They followed me with a video camera for 2 days. Starting with me interviewing the Mackay Mayor for my Beers With a Miner podcast in his office. No pressure! Greg was so passionate about our area and was open and welcoming to our foreign guests. Strange going to Mackay Council Headquarters with a camera crew and saying "Im here to see the Mayor."

HHM's partner was trying to sleep for night shift when the quake struck. What did he feel? Does it affect the operation of mine sites? MM honestly didn't know. A chat helped, and some first hand knowledge from author and underground deputy Buck helped answer that question."The first quake struck at 1:39pm Sunday, between Broome and Port Hedland. Aftershocks will continue. Although rare, there is the possibility of another large seismic event being triggered "What about all the mines in the area?" Peeps on Social Media were asking me what goes on when there is an earthquake? Mad Mumzie and Hard Hat Mentor (Steel Cap Sisters) chatted about it.
