A rock bolt includes a tube having a leading end and a trailing end. An expander mechanism is disposed within the tube near the leading end. An elongate bar is disposed within the tube and is connected at a first end with the expander mechanism and at a second end with an anchor arrangement positioned at the trailing end of the tube. The elongate bar is arranged to actuate the expander mechanism and remain connected between the expander mechanism and the anchor arrangement while the expander mechanism is actuated. The tube has a displaceable wall section at the leading end, which has a hinge end proximal the leading end connecting the displaceable wall section to the tube. The expander mechanism can be actuated to displace the displaceable wall section to rotate about the hinge end to shift the anchor end outwardly from the tube.
