Your Local Kilmore District Earthmoving Specialists

Australian Trenching and Excavations covers the full Kilmore district postcode — not just the town. The rural communities west of Kilmore, particularly Glenaroua, Moranding, and Willowmawin, sit on open volcanic plains where farm roads take a battering from seasonal use and heavy agricultural machinery. We've rebuilt access tracks on properties in this corridor that had deteriorated to the point of being seasonally unusable — stripping back failed surface material, correcting the base formation, installing new culverts, and resurfacing with correctly specified crushed rock. Done properly, that kind of work lasts a decade or more.

High Camp and Tantaraboo are further out — elevated pastoral country on the northern edge of the 3764 postcode that presents its own terrain character. Higher rainfall on the elevated country means erosion on poorly constructed tracks is a real problem, and drainage needs to be engineered for the runoff volumes that come off steeper country. We understand the difference between building a driveway on flat basalt country versus graded volcanic hills, and we adjust our approach accordingly. Forbes, in the eastern reaches of the district, is closer to the Hume Freeway corridor and has somewhat different access demands — often properties that need connecting to the highway service roads via properly constructed crossings.

For the more remote properties in the Kilmore district, we try to consolidate site visits so we can assess multiple jobs in one run — it's more efficient for everyone and means we can keep travel overhead to a minimum. If you know of a neighbouring property owner who also needs earthmoving work, mention it when you call — we're happy to plan a combined site visit. The Kilmore district is a regular part of our work area and we're committed to servicing all of it, not just the easy jobs closest to town.
