When Pete Hamilton was buried by 50 tonnes of grain on his central Queensland property, he did not think he would survive. "I remember the roar, then silence and the weight. I couldn't move. Only my face was above the grain," he said. Mr Hamilton was preparing to empty the grain silo on his property in Springsure, more than 300 kilometres south-west of Rockhampton, in February 2024.
