Mike Schumann added recently in an email to Kim Winter 16 Oct 2006: "Incidently, Will didn't do all the work on his own. There was another guy working with him and he had the help of myself and two of my school friends for two weeks. We relaid the throat points in a new location and didn't quite manage to complete the WHR points in that time. I suspect at that age I was not a very productive digger."

[edit]Present Day

Interestingly enough, nearly 52 years, to the day, the points (above) were replaced, albeit on the platform line.
