Canny construction!

Fortunately there was a rusty star picket for my tripod!

At first I thought this shack (near Nettleton's First Shaft) was under construction but closer inspection revealed it was falling apart. 

The concrete was crumbling away in sections revealing the 70s logos of (mainly) beer and soft drink cans used to strengthen its walls. The cans were the more solid steel variety that preceded the aluminium versions used today.  As an aside, did you know that there is an Australian Beer Can Collectors Association?!

Seemingly the shack was still being lived in as recently as 1996 when a town census was carried out.

The residents later moved on to a new claim, taking the shack's corrugated iron roof with them!
