The top of Watsons Shaft is grilled, with a close net grid on RSJs and a timber platform set about 6 metres below.  Once below the platform, the shaft is open to a rubble pile some 45 metres below.  From here, a level heads out towards Ovenpipe Shaft and an ever deepening pool of cow slurry!  A few metres in, a second level heads out for about 70 metres towards New Shaft.

A gated entrance below the shaft leads to a balance bob pit.
