July 1st was the "groundbreaking" of the trenches and thanks to two local excavators, Shane Poole from Diamond Diggers and Gavin Markwell from The Marwell Group, the digging is moving ahead at a fantastic pace!

Markwell and Diamond Excavators make the first mark - the trenches have begun!
After a few days of Excavation, the trenches are really starting to take shape.

The end of a long and dusty day! Thank God we didn't have to dig these by hand like the soldiers in World War One!
