Since Mining Family Matters launched in February 2010, we’ve had an incredible response from families around Australia and overseas.And what an amazing resource you’ve helped us to create. More than 120,000 visitors have scrolled through our 500 articles in the past two years: offering support to others on the forum, suggesting story ideas, sending in mining town testimonials and asking our experts for advice. With an increasing readership and the great support of our major sponsors (Caltex and the Government of South Australia through the Department for Manufacturing Innovation, Trade, Resources and Energy) we can continue to provide our services free to families and show that they’re not alone when life gets tough. We just want to say thanks for helping to make MiningFM what it is today. Please keep writing in, sharing your thoughts and telling your stories. But most importantly – if there is any info you need from us, just ask! That’s what we’re here for. Alicia & Lainie
