25.01.2022 Great day for a trip to Bruny

25.01.2022 Its very important to plan your field work around good lunch spots!

25.01.2022 Last Dirt Drinks for 2020

24.01.2022 Just a few of Tasmania’s 180 million year old Jurassic dolerite sea cliffs. At over 300 m, these dolerite cliffs on the Tasman Peninsula in south eastern Tasmania are the tallest in the Southern Hemisphere. The word ‘dolerite’ comes from the Greek word meaning ‘deceptive’ due to the difficulty of determining its exact makeup. Approximately two thirds of Tasmania is covered in dolerite.

24.01.2022 Wearing our smectite boots!

24.01.2022 The early days of Doyle Soil

24.01.2022 Meanwhile poor Evan was stuck out in the rain. Two casualties-my finger and the DCP.

24.01.2022 A huge day of field work on the east coast looking at soils for buildings, roads and onsite wastewater

23.01.2022 Pole extracted! Now back to work.....

23.01.2022 Must have jinxed myself with talk of grave digging. Had to dig this pit by hand and still couldnt extract the pole. Its stuck about 0.5m into hard sand.

22.01.2022 George helping with field textures by chewing the samples

22.01.2022 Why soil tests are important when building a house

22.01.2022 Bought me an angle grinder!

21.01.2022 Supposed to be on holidays but can’t help myself. Re-designing the Wastewater system at the rental! Fortunately rescued by my trusty assistant (mum), who filled in the hole and poured the wine!

20.01.2022 Chasing tunnels in sodic soils

19.01.2022 Vane shear testing of soil to determine the strength of soil. This data will be used to determine whether the cutting should be angled 1:2 or 1:3

19.01.2022 A little patch of calm in the chaos

19.01.2022 It could have been worse! But the sun was shining, and I didnt slip over, and at least this means the cut-off drain above the newly installed Advanced Enviro-Septic is working! Had a moment on the beach to recover and George ate some seaweed. The plumber Grant Thorpe did a good job on a wet difficult site. A SystemBuilt house. Now we just need the grass to grow!

18.01.2022 Happiness is being out at work and hearing the ice cream van pull up next door!

18.01.2022 Enjoying the view. Makes up for working on a steep site!

16.01.2022 George is despondent because he slept through his geology lectures

16.01.2022 All go today. Drilling two test holes at once!

15.01.2022 George monitoring storm water levels and infrastructure and checking for stream bank erosion.

14.01.2022 Foggy at Austins Ferry this morning!

14.01.2022 This was a pig of a site. It was well rooted!

13.01.2022 Slickensides are an indication of a highly reactive clay. They are formed when bits of the soil slide past each other like a series of mini vault lines and forms a lenticular structure. This was a subsoil formed on basalt.

12.01.2022 Subsoils -why they don’t work very well when you use them as topsoils....

12.01.2022 Anyone want to buy a lake?!!!

11.01.2022 Meeting the Geeveston locals

08.01.2022 Another successful wastewater installation. This one is a septic tank to two wide shallow mounded trenches. Again a Grant Thorpe job for SystemBuilt homes. The locals were very friendly and were pleased that George stayed in the car.

07.01.2022 Foggy down the Huon

06.01.2022 Not content to describe soil from our core sample, George decides to dig his own pit.

06.01.2022 Not a bad place to work!

06.01.2022 About to board the ferry. Great day to work on Bruny- front row!!

05.01.2022 Onion skin weathering of Jurassic dolerite. An interesting soil forming process.

05.01.2022 Busy day today, and I forgot where I was!
