Maldon Fire Brigade and Bendigo Mine Rescue Team (Oscar One) were called out to rescue a dog which had fallen five metres into an abandoned mine shaft at Maldon’s Anzac Hill on Wednesday afternoon.
Maldon CFA members called on the experts from ‘Oscar One’ to extract five-year-old Rottweiler X Boxer ‘Randy’ after he fell into the abandoned mine shaft while out enjoying a walk with his owner Kirk Wojniusz.
Kirk said it was the first and last time they will walk the Anzac Hill track.
“We normally walk around town but we decided to take a different route today. We won’t do that again!” he said.
Randy is the second dog to be rescued from the same mine shaft in eight months, with the Oscar One team visiting Maldon in November 2019 to rescue a Border Collie which had been trapped in the mine shaft for two days after disappearing whilst out on a walk with its owner.
