Happy Bore-thday!

100 years old and still going strong - the bore that is!

Although the exact date was a mystery, the Yowah bore had originally been sunk in January 1911.

As none of the locals seemed keen to mark the occasion, we decided 9 January was as good a day as any to celebrate.

We took the cake, birthday hats, party poppers and a few whistles to the borehead where we sang "Happy Birthday" very quickly, trying to avoid being over-run by the many ants!

(Nissa and Vaughan had done good work with the cake and Nick later took a piece over to Ryan, who was quite appreciative).
