Drainage going in

Did you bring the instructions?

Carpark rolled now, drainage in and perimeter tyres

17.64 tonnes of drainage, this was the pile after the car park and container area were completed, just the track to do.

path going in between containers

Update 29th March 2011

Testing to see if you could clear the table top !!!!

Pit space once we get some grass in.

South East table top

Triple in, should be fun.

This is a large table top on a corner, should be interesting.

Table top and triple can be seen here, plus in the background the ripples to the left.

4 way table top, still to check visibility from rostrum.

2nd April 2011

Grass seed went down today, lets hope we get some decent weather.

The problem puddle, it's just about off the track, but will need some work to sort.

Slow progress with rostrum, most of the work has been getting the base solid on the container.
