It would be very hard to dig the figs out . Because of that wall. Or I may have dug them. :whistle:

Hi Guys ,as an avid hunter gatherer of large material these would be a piece of cake to collect . For goodness sake their figs in sand . Run a chainsaw across at 600-800mm high , Dig down 200-300mm slice the off with a saw , paint the leftover in ground material with neat roundup and back fill . Somebody save them .

Sydney is too far for an Alpineart rescue .

Cheers
