    Prostitutes are greatly benefiting from Australia's mining boom and their strong economy.

    ^ Those rates are strictly Back Page bottom end around Boston. I wouldn't call it "striking it rich" by any stretch...

    That report was back in Nov 2011, right about when the mining boom started to fizzle.
    I'm pretty sure this article is mostly fantasy, even during the boom miners don't hang about mining towns, preferring to fly in and out, mainly because everyone is gouging the miners with over the top housing and living costs and partly because everyone knows you'll end up an alcoholic because there is nothing else to do.
    The usual media sensationalising and embellishing on reality to make a readable story.

    I've also seen more recent articles, such as this one.

    Proprietor Bruna Meyers said women in her establishment earned up to A$4,000 a week at a busy time, or about three times the average full-time Australian wage.

    "The girls who come here are mainly from over east (eastern Australian states). They come in, sometimes for two or three weeks at a time. Some are just girls who are travelling around the world," Meyers told Reuters.

    This reminds me of all the articles about strippers making boatloads of money in North Dakota due to the oil boom... exaggerated claims, both of them.
