We're an island continent.

Grew up with water all around me.

Swimming teacher, aqua aerobics instructor, all those sorts of things.

Just love the water.

And then I sailed on a tall ship, actually, from Greece to America.

So I turned up in the States and spent a lot of time here.

But fast forward back into Australia after a whole lot of travel.

And I married a guy who was from the construction industry.

And we saw an opportunity in the market in Sydney, Australia.

He kept his day job and I bought a truck and started digging dirt.

Well, actually, the problem was, is that on construction projects, the old school way of doing things, digging with excavators and backhoes, mechanical means, actually started damaging services under the ground.

So imagine your optical fibres that provide the internet to all our businesses.

If you impact one of those, we're in big trouble.

And so the utility company started to support us because we excavated safely.

We were like your insurance policy.

So we'd go in and locate the services, physically dig it, expose it, work out what's under the ground, and then contractors could come in and build on top of it.

It's pretty, pretty basic.

So we say it's not rocket science.

We're literally just digging the ground with high pressure water and having a look what's under there.

So we excavate a hole, we dig out the mud slurry, suck it out with the vacuum hoses.
