John Cooper, Courtenay James, Wayne Starsmore, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Afternoon early start as Christmas Eve. Never seen the bottom half of Four-Tonne Shaft running so wet! With Adrian, John and Jude in the bottom tunnel, Courtenay hauling and Wayne stacking, an estimated 36 loads dumped at the bottom of Four-Tonne before Courtenay’s light misbehaved. The end boulder is now easily accessible. It’s about 600mm x 600mm x 300mm thick and can be moved when tickled with a large bar. Needs something a bit fiercer. 2¼ hours.
