The Job – Digging a 500m Long Trench
This next job sent me to the back of Sheparton in Dookie Hills to dig one of the longer trenches that I have had to do. When I first arrived I measured the length, making sure I knew what to expect and it was a 500m long trench! I didn’t have one second of worry though, as I hooked up the trencher and jumped on the back of my Kanga.

During the trenching I was able to lay the pipe in as I went to save time and effort on the job. It was pretty good weather for a pretty good job if I do say so myself. All I needed was my trencher and the level to backfill and jobs done.

You don’t really notice how long 500m is until you stand back and see how far you came.
