We last heard from Michael Bullock back in October, when he shared his photos of big kit at rest in the machinery yards around Perth, in Western Australia. Since then Michael has been working on some civil engineering jobs in some of the remotest parts of Western Australia, which he tells us about here, and in further upcoming posts on Digger.

The other half and I have just spent the Christmas period on the beautiful island of Fuerteventura, enjoying some quality chill out time, and more importantly topping up on some much missed vitamin D from the glorious sunshine. However, no holiday for me is complete without a day out in the hire car looking for a few machines, that I can snap some shots of for the pages of the Digger Blog.
