The invention provides a displacement measuring device which includes an elongate rigid body which extends between a proximal end and a distal end and which is adapted for insertion in a rock hole, the body including a first member and a second member, a proximal anchor engaged with the first member and positioned and adapted to engage the rock hole at a proximal location, a distal anchor engaged with the second member and positioned and adapted to engage the rock hole at a distal location, and a displacement sensor, wherein the first member is adapted to move axially relatively to the second member when the proximal location moves away from the distal location, as a result of a displacement, and wherein the displacement sensor is responsive to movement of the first member relatively to the second member and which is adapted to generate a first output which is indicative of the extent of the displacement.
