Mike Kushy and Lee Venning arrived on site at 11am, the weather was already rather warm. LV headed down cave equipped with the breaker and got to work removing loose rock and mud from the floor and walls (the mud is so hard that it also required the use of the breaker). After MK had winched twenty loads to the surface, we decided to stop for lunch, this was about 1pm and by this point the heat was bloody ridiculous.
Once lunch was done MK went down cave and got to work with the breaker, in the meantime Trevor Hughes arrived, this was about 1:40pm.
A further eight buckets were winched to the surface by TH with LV emptying the buckets. MK returned to the surface and TH and LV went down cave to drill holes and set up.
We drilled 5 x 500mm holes and then TH supervised LV who did the set up. Meanwhile on the surface MK had a visit from John Cooper. Once this task was completed, we retreated to the surface and the holes were destroyed.
We all left site at 4:15pm, 5 ¼ hours. Lee.
