Summary

Jeffrey Munchemberg in his dugout house in Andamooka, where he had moved to 32 years earlier from Victor Harbor. The photographer comments, "I came across Jeffrey one morning whilst driving around Andamooka's winding little dirt roads searching for inhabited dugouts. Jeffery was seated out the front of his house, which caught my attention immediately due to the fact that it resembled a giant Bower Bird nest with bits and pieces of old mining implements, car parts, and shinny stuff that I can't even begin to explain. I pulled over and started chatting and before long Jeffery was giving me the grand tour of his humble abode, as he guided me through each room I was amazed at all of the art work he had collected over the years. Jeffery told me that his home was one of the originals dugout of Andamooka and had been built by George Molcha, I was amazed at how cool the living room and bed rooms were considering the outside temperature was already 35 degrees at 11am. We sat and drank cups of tea in the lounge room and I listened as Jeffery explained how he loved living in such a remote part of the state."
