Life in Boddington

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 started with Newmont in 2007 and although my family and I have only been in Australia for a relatively short time, it’s confirmed that I made the right decision.

When I joined Newmont, it sponsored my work visa and paid for all of the costs of our relocation. Newmont also assisted us with the initial settling-in period, all of which has helped tremendously and has made the transition much easier.

From a family perspective, it’s been an excellent choice for a variety of reasons. Everyone loves the lifestyle and my wife and I have both been very pleasantly surprised by the excellent standard of education in schools.

I’m currently working with a team of geologists and we have the challenging task of directing the ore development in the dynamic and demanding Jundee environment. It’s been a real pleasure to work in Newmont’s efficient production environment and I’m consistently stretched to meet the high standards of the operation. Of course I get no end of support and opportunities to expand my skills and knowledge. That’s another outstanding feature of working here.

Newmont is also an environment where results are well rewarded. If you’ve got the ability and motivation, you can easily find rapid advancement or move into and between the fields of resource geology or exploration. I’m completely satisfied with my decision to join this dynamic company and look forward to a long and rewarding association with Newmont.
