Welcome to the Official Page of the Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) Wallabies.
The WASM (Western Australia School of Mines) Wallabies are a student group, located at Curtin University Bentley, who compete in both the National and International Collegiate Mining Competitions.
The WASM Wallabies were founded in 2006, setting a rival against the WASM Wombats located at the WA School of Mines in Kalgoorlie. After having competed for 1 year at the International Collegiate Mining Competition (ICMC), the Wallabies placed 3rd in the Mens Division during the 2007 ICMC in Arizona. This success continued to grow, as the co-ed team taking out 1st place at the 2009 ICMC in Montana, and the men's team finishing on top at the 2010 ICMC in Kalgoorlie. The Wallabies continue to breathe success in the ICMC to date, showcasing their great sportsmanship, teamwork, and mate-ship.
The International Collegiate Mining Competition was founded in 1978, to honour and remember the men; as well as the friends and family of these men, that tragically passed in one of the United States’ worst hard rock mining disasters ever, at Sunshine Mine, Idaho, USA. More information about the ICMC is located under the About tab.
