The great escape....
All of Australia is celebrating today due to the release of 2 miners trapped in a cage for 14 days. The action took place at the Beaconsfield gold mine near to Launceston in Tasmania....after an earthquake on Anzac Day...25th April triggered a rock fall 1 klm underground....killing one of their mates and trapping the 2 miners in the cage.The dedicated team of rescue workers worked tirelessly under great difficulty and with many setbacks to free their mates aided by a wonderful team of paramedics who risked their lifes too to buoy up the spirits of the men..finally...they broke through a new tunnel to retrieve the men and bring them to the surface...their first sight of daylight for 14 days....remarkably they walked from the lift to greet their loved ones and the whole town population of the town that had turned out to welcome them...shrugging off the stretchers waiting for them...looking fitter than most people in the crowd.....We thank God for their freedom......
