I had just finished shoveling a hole around a buried rock in the space where my father wants to put a garden, and now I am putting on my gloves in preparation to try to shift it loose from the soil. The T-shirt I am wearing is about 22 years old - if you know me, you'll see some irony (I generally drink very little) and some truth (I work nights, so drinking a beer in the morning is like drinking one before bed, per my timetable) in the sophomoric humor of that statement.

At the time, we did not know dogs would dig holes in sand to cool themselves off. We just thought he liked digging. After he finished digging and plopped down, we gave him a few minutes and then took him back to the hotel for some air-conditioned comfort.
StarHub launching the HTC Touch Diamonds at Plaza Singapura. At the launch of the road show, the emcee invited the public to participate in the dig at the sand-pit box to search for the diamonds. The winner stands a chance to win a Touch Diamonds2.
On afternoon we visited a community garden. They gave us a tour and let the students taste some of the produce and try their hands at digging potatoes.
The first 2 weeks of August I worked at an ESL summer camp for Japanese teenage girls. We ran class-like sessions in the morning and in the afternoons we either did field trips on special activities in the school we were using. It was fun and reminded me a bit of the summer programs we would run when I worked in school-age child care.

Dinosaur Digging @ Wyoming Dinosaur Center.
What wonderful bones! Considered "Diplodocus" With brush, knife, chisel and hammer...we had dug for 6 hours!!!
You can tell by Hannah's face(bigger Sam) that she started the whole situation. They come back in the house in various shades of grey...I love it. They have so much fun together.
23 October 2002: We needed a reliable source of water to irrigate all the new lawn, so called in Zizis Paraschis to reopen the silted old well.
Sasha loves to dig. She had a good time digging at the beach. I'm babysitting her for a week and it's always a good sign with the dog falls asleep after the exercise. Yay!
Digging in the heat all day-the kids thought they were going to get a Dairy Queen but they actually got paid.
These kids are digging on a jacket full of fossils, at The Woodlands Xploration Station. The little plastic Dimetrodon in front shows you what they are working on
Another composite from the soon to be din-X gas station in Tungelsta. The diggers are here. Digging holes for the new gas tanks. bigger.
I have literally thousands of photos from this trip. If any one wants more of a particular vehicle, let me know.
This is day 2, trip along the Border Track - Dog Fence.
This must be one of the best sand tracks to be found in Victoria/South Australia. It follows the border from near Pinnaroo right down to near the Melbourne - Adelaide hwy.
This track has very large sand hills to get over. Most of these hills have tracks to get around them if you are not able to get over them. Some of these hills are so extreme there's no way anyone will get over them, so this track can very easily be classed as a 'Difficult' track.
Very Important. Check with the SA National Parks and Reserves for information on when the track is closed, and what direction you need to go in.
The track is about 107km. Allow a full day to make this trip. For a more enjoyable weekend, take your time and camp anywhere along the track. Stop in or camp at Red Bluff - scenic red sandstone hill.
(This is where we stopped). Dress warm though as it gets hot in the day, freezing at night.
Make sure you pack all your recovery gear, and travel in a group with other 4wd's. (We had to recover 2 vehicles).
Check the depths of the mud holes. Some for us were over 1 meter deep. Watch out for the holes towards the end, they are really deep!
Momentum is your friend on the sand dunes. We used 15psi tyre pressures. (Try the sand dunes 3x, if you fail, take the chicken path)
We ended up getting lost around the supposed turnoff to red bluff, that according to the maps was "well signposted".
We ended up with broken eggs and bottles.
This is mostly a sandy track with dunes and provides you with a remote location for testing self and equipment without travelling deeper into the outback.
The environment is typical Victorian desert – Mallee country. Expect some scratching from Mallee scrub particularly in the Wyperfeld section and some parts of the Northern Border Track may be overgrown. Soft sand is to be found on the tracks as well as corrugations and hard gravel.
The border track is steeped in history largely due to the dispute which arose from the original survey completed between 1847 and 1850. The result is that the border is actually sighted some 3kms too far West. A fascinating account of this can be obtained from John Deckert at Westprint Heritage Maps if you manage to visit whilst in Nhill.
There is an abundance of wildlife to enjoy whilst undertaking this trip, so watch out for Emu and Kangaroo. Aboriginal rock holes can be found close to the junction with South Bore Track.
We were lucky to reach the top speed of 40 kms/hr.

Greene Acres Community Garden incorporated a pond into their rainwater harvesting project.
The foreman was having a hard time getting traction in the sandy wash. We solved the issue by having Jim and Rachel sit on the front and back of the Foreman, after that I had great traction and the rock moved easily.
Maggie, our coach, demonstrates correct double digging technique. Note the board to distribute weight and not pack down soil.
Nuru (13) cannot recall how long he has worked here. He has never been to school and does not know how to read or write. He is upset because his brother, who he works with, is angry at him for not processing enough material through a machine that they have to pay for daily. However, he quickly says that mining is still better than working on the fields back home "you farm the land, but don’t earn anything," he says, adding that he is not afraid of working in the mines.
