Mining in Australia: A Social Media Trend
” Miningaustralia”, “Fifoaustralia” or “Flyinflyout”… Behind these different hashtags, a new trend has been gaining millions of views on social media for several months. The concept? Promoting Australian mines to internet users worldwide.
Sharing Mining Experiences on Social Media
From shorts to vlogs, workers in the industry share their experiences on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. They talk about the tasks they perform and highlight their salaries, which can range from weekly earnings of $2,000 to annual salaries as high as $140,000.
Opportunities and Lifestyle Appeal
Individuals with motivation can try their luck and secure positions such as camp assistants, housekeeping staff, or restaurant workers. Training programs on-site allow ambitious individuals to learn heavy machinery operation or excavation tool handling for even higher pay.
The Allure of the Mining Lifestyle
Influencers like Fifotok5, with hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok, promote the appealing lifestyle of earning good money while enjoying six months of vacation in Australia. Many aspiring miners are drawn not only by the financial aspect but also by the lifestyle showcased on social media.
A Unique Routine for Financial Gain
Some miners have developed an ideal routine of working on-site for two weeks, then enjoying leisure time in countries like Indonesia before returning to the mine. These influencers, seemingly independent from mining companies, include cash-strapped Australians, international workers saving money, and travelers looking to fund their Australian adventures.
