Hundreds of workers from a COVID-19 ravaged mine in central Australia will start flying home after testing negative for the virus.
More than 700 workers were forced to isolate at Newmont's Granites Mine, about 540 kilometres northwest of Alice Springs, after a worker tested positive on 26 June.
They've spent most of that time in their rooms with many taking to social media to complain about conditions, including food shortages.

The cohort has now completed 14 days of Northern Territory police-supervised quarantine at the Tanami Desert site and returned negative COVID test results.
They'll start flying to their homes around the country on Saturday, with Chief Minister Michael Gunner saying the Delta variant outbreak has been controlled.
