Thanks for the above, Staggers......the key word is DUG. Rivers don't "dig" anywhere...they flow, they erode, but they certainly don't dig tunnels. Can we please have some terminological exactitude...the Stink and the Tinker, when flowing below the ground surface in Accy and Church, are flowing through ducts, and not along tunnels. Is this now clear to everyone?

No wonder |'m losing my hair.....
