Jim was an amazing man and mentor. He helped so many people become better, safer, and allowed us to achieve more.

I believe the naming of theses projects should reflect the hard work, dedication and commitment given to the building of the projects and Jim Adams depicts it all including his life.

Uncle Jim was a bloody hard worker and for him, if a job needed doing then you do it right and do it safely. He encompass all thing mining and the tunnel should be named after him and it should be carried with the utmost pride and respect.

I worked with Uncle on this job and a previous job, no nicer man you could meet. Had time for everyone on the job, especially the guys and girls at the start of their tunnelling career, always a smile and a hello. A man full of knowledge and an absolute gentleman. He would have put everything into the project, as he did every other project he worked on. He would of passed as much knowledge as he could to the workers around him, this was just the fella he was. It would be the tunnel that would be getting the honour, to have jimmy's name associated with it.

On a side note. I would like to thank his son Dallas for the incredible work and the message he delivers on the sites around Australia. Couldn't even begin to understand how tough it must be to stand in front of your peers to deliver such a message in the way he does it at every talk.

Thank you Dallas

This man is a legend. Humble, hard worker and a good role model to those in the tunnel industry. He was a good mentor to the younger men in his day, those men are now leaders in their areas of expertise. May he rest in peace.
