Scarface Fifo stands for Fly In-Fly Out which refers to a job (most commonly in the mining industry) where you fly to a remote location where the mine is (could be anywhere from a 1-4hour flight - Australia is a massive country!), work long hours for a few weeks, earn excellent wages and then fly home again for a week or two of down time.

Mark which mine do you work at? I’ve got a mate working as a kitchen hand - 2 weeks on, 1 week off and clearing $1600pw after tax. I thought about trying to do it too but I’m enrolled to do uni fulltime (online) next year now so I don’t think the two would combine too well together.

Never heard of it gulp probably because I live in Belgium were we don’t have stuff like that ^^
(btw i’m the most international guy here shock so I don’t know anything about the ‘common Australian stuff’; damn I say allot of stuff LOL)
