i used to work underground for a gold mining company at a mine-site about 800km’s north-east of perth in western australia. usually when yr underground the rock faces talk to you,(a very eerie groaning sound) and extended periods of silence is almost always followed by something that the suits in the office like to call ‘a siesmic event’…and something the miners call a rockfall.

at this particular site we had had three ‘events’ in as many months…resulting in two of my workmates being ‘fatally injured’, and it was deadly quiet ALLOFTHETIME.

it reminds me of this place at 2.22am on a sunday morning.
