Diggers and Dealers Mining Forum – Day 3 

 

The Diggers and Dealers Mining Forum closed today in Kalgoorlie, WA.

 

The final day was relatively quiet and the day finished with the traditional sit down dinner, attended by 1,300 people!  There were people trying to buy spare dinner tickets as it was up to capacity, and there were many disappointed people outside that could not enter.

 

The logistics are quite impressive.  1,300 fine steaks were part cooked in Perth, and flown up, with accompanying staff, on a one hour flight to Kalgoorlie. Upon arrival food and staff transfer to the event, to be joined by other staff bussed up from Perth which takes around  6 hours.  The food is then cooked to completion and served. The standard was amazing, considering what had to be done to bring them to the table in the first place.

 

Some staff going home by bus would not arrive until the following morning, quite an exhausting day for them. I was very impressed by the service, and the staff did a fine job, and were a credit to the event.
