Mining and minerals play a significant role in the Australian economy and is carried out in nearly every state of the country. Transporting labor and employee is the biggest concern.

It is the world’s largest exporter of coal and its third largest supplier of iron ore. Australia is the second largest producer of gold after China and also holds 16% of the global stock of uranium. 75% of the coal mined in Australia is exported, mostly to eastern Asia.
Copper, silver, opals, diamonds, bauxite and nickel are all to be found in Australian mines. Coal mining is particularly central to the economy of Newcastle, in New South Wales, and there are many mines in its hinterland. Newcastle is on the south side of the Hunter River and its port is the largest coal exporting harbor in the world, exporting over 97 Mt of coal in 2009–10. Coal, diamonds and gold are also mined in the area around Perth, in the South West.
Since many mining operations are carried out in remote locations in what is a vast country the challenges of the logistics of getting employees to and from sites require the services of transport companies with the skills to make sure everything runs on schedule.
Some companies offer free accommodation and food, in dedicated mining company towns for employees, who work on a rotating shift typically of three weeks on and one week away back at home with their families. This means that a mining company will need transport not only to and from the mines but also for staff to travel out to wherever their homes and families are.
Some of the world’s biggest mining companies, many of them multinationals, operate in the country and these organizations are likely to employ only the most competitive, efficient and reliable of transport logistics companies and will want to be sure that a long term arrangement can be made.
Transport needs will vary from place to place, from bus charters Sydney to coach charter Newcastle, to bus charter in and around Perth. The company that arranges all this and demonstrates its attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile is most likely to stand out and be successful in winning long term mining transportation contracts across Australia.
A transport logistics company with a long track record and a presence in states throughout the country will have the contacts and the access to local knowledge that will make sure that they can provide all this.
