By Marielle Simon for Daily Mail Australia and Emily Crane for Daily Mail Australia and Kate Lyons for Daily Mail Australia A 26-year-old drilling engineer is among the nine fly-in fly-out (FIFO) workers who have taken their own lives in the past year. Rob, whose surname has not been revealed, ended his life on a Queensland mine site in November 2013, while working a three weeks on, three weeks off roster in coal seam gas exploration for QGC. His partner, Christine, said FIFO's lifestyle and work pressures became increasingly overwhelming for Rob and by the end he felt like his 'brain had broken.'
