[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 527408, member: 3960"] Just as a matter of interest. My mother's second cousin was Russel Hintz. My great, great grandparents, the Hintz family lived on a property where the Hintz Dam is situated on the Gold Coast. Before the old house site (the house was mover to the pioneer village) went under water we, the family, visited it. Out the back was a very deep well about 6' in diameter that was formed in solid granite. Old man Hintz dug the entire thing using fire and water. He used the fire to heat the rock and then would douse it with water to explode the rock. Mum told us about it when my brother an I came home from a camping trip to Red Rock Gorge near Stanthorpe where we lit our campfire on top of a slab of granite and then got showered with hot coals from the delaminating granite :8 [/QUOTE]
