John Mancetti is a third generation Italian immigrant who has been employed in the Western Australian resources sector as a construction worker for the last four years. He is one of nearly a hundred thousand Fly In, Fly Out (FIFO) workers, that serve the industry by travelling over one thousand, five hundred kilometres to and from work by aeroplane. This type of lifestyle is somewhat unique to Western Australia. While life seems to be good in many respects, John eventually becomes a victim of the various stress that are associated with working in the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia. John’s family want him to give up his high paid job as a FIFO worker to return to full time employment in Perth. John is very reluctant to change and keeps delaying the decision to do so because he has onerous financial commitments. Through a serious of unexpected events he finally realises that he is suffering from “the FIFO Blues”...
