Our village

MRM is one-hour's flight from Darwin. We have built our own airport and fly our workforce on comfortable Airnorth jets.

Village facilities

Our village is located just 2 km from the mine site. Travel between the site and village is via an air-conditioned bus, although many people choose to make the short journey by foot.

We are well-known for our excellent food. Breakfast and dinner are served daily in the dry mess with a selection of healthy foods as well as special treats. Crib facilities are available for you to pack your own lunches and snacks.

The majority of the rooms have en-suites and all are serviced by satellite televisions, including movie options. Public telephones are available as well as voice and data services via Telstra's Next G mobile telephone network. A number of houses are available to managers.

An internet café is located adjacent to the wet mess and free high-speed wireless internet is available.

Social and recreational facilities

The village is set among extensive gardens and boasts a swimming pool, gym, tennis and basketball courts, volleyball court, indoor cricket facilities, covered BBQ area, theatre room, a golf driving range, a clay target range and walking tracks.

Our gym is available 24 hours a day with a full range of cardio and weight facilities. Our 24-hour crib room offers tea and coffee-making facilities, television and free internet terminals.

The wet mess is open for limited hours in the morning and evening and includes a bar, a shop with essential supplies, televisions, a pool table and a darts board.

A purpose-built movie theatre has all the latest movies and is available 24 hours a day.

Health services

The site and village are serviced by trained paramedics who are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Medical  Centre is fully equipped to provide frontline care in most emergencies. If required, aeromedical care and evacuation is provided by CareFlight. There are regular visits by a doctor to site.
