Introduction
My name is Ben Tracy I am 36 years old, I am married with a 4 year old little girl and one on the way. I have worked FIFO for the past few years and I missed a lot of milestones. Landing a job at New Acland coal would be the best opportunity for my family and I. I am a hobby geologist, I spend most of my free time camping with the family fossicking for gemstones and interesting and unique mineral formations. I cut polish and sell some of our finds at the local markets. I live in Wyreema and plan on making a future here.
