Life in Boddington
Just 81 miles (130 kilometers) from Perth, the town of Boddington not only puts you minutes from the mine, it gives you and your family a wonderful place to live. Set on the banks of the Hotham River among some of Western Australia's most picturesque farmland and native forests, the community has everything you need to live a full and rewarding life.
For lovers of the great outdoors, vast forests of jarrah and marri provide the perfect setting for outdoor adventures and camping - or a simple family picnic. Abounding with Redfin, native fish and Marron crayfish, the Hotham River is loved by fishermen. There are small farms scattered throughout the region, including Blue Gum plantations, vineyards and fruit orchards that provide for great family outings - and help make it easy for residents to call Boddington "home."

Viewpoints
I’ve been in the mining industry since 1987 and spent the last 17 working at fly-in/fly-out operations. The main thing that attracted me to Newmont when I started in January [2007] was the roster. My partner is a local, so it’s fantastic to be back in the area with a long-term view to settle permanently. We currently live in Perth, so I stay at the accommodation village during my roster and make the short trip back home, which makes family life so much more settled.
The town culture is great – you get to live more of a life. You can go up north for a while and chase the dollars, but the ideal roster and life balance is all here.
I’ve worked on a lot of projects during my career, and what drew me here was being involved in an exciting start-up project. The Boddington project is one of the biggest around, so it’s here to stay.
