Tradies rough it in the bush (contains coarse language)

"The sign didn't work"

"The sign didn't work"

A Perth tradesman arrived on a remote community job to find he had to camp out.

He had expected to be given donga accommodation and three meals a day.

Instead he had to make do with an old mattress and a tent, and nowhere to lock up his tools.

“That mattress was covered in dog shit and fleas and piss stains,” he said.

"I invented my own shower"

"I invented my own shower"

“I invented my own shower – amazing what a plumber can do when living like an animal.”

He also found a chair, table and a working fridge at the local tip.

Fire

“The mozzies had a field day on me each night,” he said.

“I burned donkey shit to keep them away.”

KimberleyPage is witholding the name of the plumber, the sub-contractor he worked for, and the community.
