Underground Forts​

Do you remember building underground forts and hideouts? For many, these special dugouts meant endless afternoon adventures with friends and all the wonders imagination could take us! How often did you play in these underground cubbies? Share it with us here. 🪏

Oh yeah, lots of fun.
And cubby houses is too.
 
Never ... Never.
In Queensland about 19 47 at Redcliffe we were stopped and told NEVER DIG CUBBIES IN THE WALLS OF SAND.
Apparently, two kids did so, on the Gold Coast and the whole lot collapsed on them and suffocated both.
So digging holes for cubbie houses was band.
Whether it was the Gold Coast or somewhere else could be a fact .. Can't really remember where, for sure , but it did happen, (Courier Mail, I think)

It is extremely dangerous without shoring.
And so sad that kids lost their entire lifetime because they were not informed or properly supervised
