    A few more clues:
    two words.
    every piece of earthmoving equipment has at least one of these, usually more.

    Ken,

    Since I have to spell it out for you

    Wood Borer is telling us in his quiet, unassuming manner that he is in fact an indigenie from a family of some note. His family in fact gave their name to that well known artifact of which archaeologists are so fond, the Borer Ring.

    Al,
    your turn. Hydraulic ram is right-as used on all modern earth moving equipment and also a name given to a very simple water pump which is driven by water head only, basically just a chamber and two? flapper valves.

    Kenmil,

    The first fleet arrived at Botany Bay January 1788 which is after James Cook visited Australia. Cook sailed into Australian waters in 1770.

    Didn't you learn anything about Australian history at school?

    Is it a factory/mill that is full of cotton gins? (whatever the hell they are).

    A Ginnel is an old English word for a passage or walkway... usually between properties.

    A tool for shaping the inside of a gunnel?

    - Wood Borer

    Wrong family Bitingmidge but easy mistake to make as the spelling is identical.
