Fark!

How deep does the hole go? Can it just be filled in with lots of sand and built over again eventually?

Similar thing happened to some bloke in Woodvale.

I recall reading something a year or so ago...half his pool and backyard collapsed down into a 6m hole.

Edit: Only thing I can find on it: http://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Lists/Statements/DispForm.aspx?ID=128705
