Close to the coASt the Dowler Mining Company was operating. There was all the hubbub of explosions, noisy trucks transporting the mined ore and the loading of the railway wagons. Regularly the ore needed someone to assay it to check its quality, so a piece would be taken to the on-site laboratory inside a shack. At lunch-break time some of the workers would take a short walk to the beach to de-stress, watching the waves come in and walking barefoot through the swash. Just a few of these workers had become health-conscious, so on occasions you could see one smash an avocado to spread on their sourdough bread as they sat on the beach.
