Your mate's nephew would have to have some reasonable qualifications to be on 100k out at Cadia. It's one of the lowest paying mines in Aus due to it's location ie. close to a decent town. The bedsit must also be furnished to rent for that much!
Newcrest also have recently built their distribution centre for the whole of Aus in Orange. Their is also a Newcrest training centre, a lab, and a few other Newcrest sites around the place.
Sorry can't guarantee the wage as I was just paraphrasing 3rd party hearsay which can be dangerous just like chinese wispers......but yes its furnished.
