Wanna Muck?

He who gets dirtiest, wins.

Are you a young metallurgist, engineer, geologist, explosives expert, bartender, retail specialist, or recently unemployed? Are you a man? Do you live in Kalgoorlie? Yes? Then you probably spend most of your day thinking about mucking. Its competitive, it involves heavy tools, grunting, and mud.

Limbs are frequently sawed off.
The 8 events are mucking, sawing, railsetting, surveying, air drilling, goldpanning, hand steeling, and chugging beers. It requires strength, stamina, skill, and blatant disregard for safety. I witnessed the Western Australia School of Mining mucking team, the Wombats go through a rigorous training and if I didn't have to film it, I would have signed up for the team.
