An original dugout house, Andamooka
An original dugout house at Andamooka. The photographer writes about the house, "This dugout was built by George Molycha for Bob Cutzow in 1941. Both men were miners and the dwelling shows evidence of it's rough make-do origins. Over the years it has seen a succession of temporary owners and occupants and it has remained in a similar condition to that of when it was first built. This dugout is a typical semi-dugout with a native pine, earth covered roof structure and a combination of stone, wattle and daub, with lath and plaster wall finishes. The excavated portion of the roof has a limestone surround and the entrance area has been roughly covered with branches and lengths of bush timber. It was given added support with discarded ladders and bed frames. The last owner was Mr. Percy Ward, who was a part time prospector from Port Augusta and spent the winter months mining in Andamooka. Mr. Ward retired in 1988 and the property has remained unoccupied since then.
