Contractors have been getting on with it.
Plenty of gravel down and a bit more to come.

Car parking nearly done

Road in and feeder dam

Gravelling

These shots were taken on 23/10/2013, as gravel being laid on the road in, also the parking area.


Next on the agenda is a working bee to erect fencing to separate us from the farm.

We had been looking for a site to call home for well over 12 months and had a few possibles, but were thwarted each time. It was decided that a chat to our local newspaper could be advantageous as they had been most helpful in the past with publicity, this resulted in the front page story of Monday 25th March 2013 and continued on page 2. (Pic right, note typo in the heading)
Responses came in immediately, resulting in the purchase of our new home.











Recently Coates Hire sold us a relocatable site shed as reported in 'The Advertiser' of Monday 7th October 2013.

I was on holiday at the time but I believe the sum of $0.01 was invoiced to us.

Satellite view of the field as it was purchased.

 Working bees have been conducted, see the nice gates.
Left gate is for fliers, right gate is for the farmer access.

The long road in to the facitilies.








Brown area is to be enclosed for the field and shut out farm animals.

Start of setting out the parking area and pits.
