Mason sharing his conversation with his Mum about the ANZAC tunnellers

Yesterday after dinner time, I told my mum about the tunnels which were found by some college students. They were 30 metres underground and there were names, signs, graffiti and also a Kia Ora and big fern on the wall. 

These tunnels were secrete hideouts and were made by NZ soldiers who worked very hard to dig the tunnels. They also used geophones. A geophone was used by soldiers to listen for sounds from the enemy. They were placed on the ground and they could hear the faintest sounds of what the Germans were doing. 

After telling all that to my mum my mum said "Wow I didn't know that geophones were a thing". Then my mum told me everything she knows about the war.
