The coolest thing about working as a graduate at Mineral Resources is the opportunity for hands-on experiences and involvement in cutting-edge projects. One remarkable experience was going out to an exploration site to monitor malleefowls using new technology like thermal drones and LiDAR. These advanced tools help study the nesting behaviors of these endangered birds, and it's exciting to contribute to their protection and conservation. Additionally, getting outdoors for transect walks provides a refreshing break from desk work and allows graduates to work on fascinating projects in the field. It's a blend of desk-based tasks and outdoor adventures that makes the role at Mineral Resources truly remarkable.
