Sinossi

In *From Mines to Milestones*, Michael Metsemakers takes readers on a gritty, unfiltered journey through the mining industry in the vast, rugged outback of Western Australia. Born in a small country town, Michael never imagined he'd one day be operating 600-ton excavators, but his relentless drive and passion for heavy machinery propelled him through the ranks of Australia’s mining operations. 
Starting as an 18-year-old roller operator with no knowledge of the industry, Michael quickly adapted to the unique challenges of the FIFO lifestyle. His story captures the highs and lows of working in harsh environments, the thrill of mastering powerful machinery, and the struggle to balance career and family life. 
Now a father, Michael faces his toughest challenge yet: leaving the mines behind to be with his son and experience life’s most important milestones at home. In this memoir, he shares not only the technical aspects of his career but also the personal sacrifices, triumphs, and decisions that shaped his path. 
With honesty and humility, Michael recounts his rise through the industry, offering a raw look at the determination it takes to succeed, the friendships formed in remote camps, and the emotional weight of a life lived between shifts in the outback and moments with loved ones. 
*From Mines to Milestones* is not just a story about heavy machinery; it's a heartfelt exploration of personal growth, resilience, and the pursuit of balance in a demanding world. Join Michael as he reflects on his past, contemplates his future, and invites readers to follow his incredible journey both in and out of the mines.
