Dibner was just a dabbler - and he had to get planning permission for his shaft  |

hilarious
drive about an hour out of the city here and you get that kind of thing for free in many gardens. joys of living where a gold rush once occurred...
with less green though, stupid drought.

Wow! What sort of landscape was it to start with, just flat boringness? That's utterly amazing, really is. How about the rails, were they already there or have you placed them to look almost covered?
Flabbergasted. Really am. Makes my patio (5 weeks work not including disappearing a huge mound of soil) look weak.

the landscape was just a gentle slope, this was the first building -  made from random stones from a removed boundary wall - then the small drift entrance, with the retaining wall (bottom left corner of the photo) then a shaft, 50 - 60 feet of drift with another shaft to the left ( top of this shaft shown in pic no. 2) then a ninety degree drift at the upper end of the slope entering a 3rd shaft with head stock. after filling in the gaps, and landscaping and seeding, the rail was added and a set of points ( not pictured ) in the years since it was finsihed, the owner has built several mock rail wagons and further buildings, i have some more pics, but these are 35 mil film so i will have to scan them |

Now there's building follies, and there's building tumbledown follies! That's amazing, it really looks like it's been there for a century or two.
