At Bell Bay Aluminium, family ties run deep. In this episode of Hot Spots, we hear from a mother and daughter, and a husband and wife - colleagues who also share a home. Their stories stretch beyond the household, connecting to uncles, cousins, and kids who’ve worked at the smelter too. Together, we explore why families keep coming back, what it’s like when your colleagues are also your kin, and how shift work shapes life beyond the gates. From juggling rosters and debriefs at the dinner table, to carrying on traditions across generations, this episode shows how the smelter isn’t only full of work stories, it’s full of family stories too.
