Working at Santos’ Moomba task found in the remote Strzelecki Desert about 800 kilometres north of the South Australia state capital, Adelaide, brings its own benefits — and some uncommon obstacles.
Alongside additional benefit such as sensational sundowns, there are intense summer season temperature levels, uncompromising surface and close encounters with the native wildlife, a few of which must absolutely be approached with care.
Kangaroos, lizards and cockatoos are not irregular visitors to the task website, and employees sitting outside their onsite lodgings, called “cribs”, have actually reported seeing dingoes at close quarters in the early night, according to Santos Energy Solutions president Brett Woods.
