The diggers!

In the pic above Nick is honing (hah!) his chainsaw sharpening knowledge. The wood at Yowah was so hard that he had paid for the chainsaw blade to be sharpened several times before the fellow suggested it would make more sense/cents to buy the sharpening kit.

The "mine" was getting deeper, thanks to Nick and Erin's continued efforts.

As you can see, Vaughan did assist but was generally (and easily) side-tracked by grasshoppers etc!

The rusty metal structure served no purpose other than to cover the "mine" when work had finished for the day.
