    "Adrian McMaster allegedly used an excavator to remove rocks from an ancient stone arrangement resembling an eel on his Lake Bolac property, between Ballarat and Dunkeld, in 2021. I was moving the stones so I could get the [weed sprayer] in there," the 65-year-old told Ballarat Magistrates Court."
