Work Report 15th/16th September 2007

Track Manager, Peter Culley reported:

"We towed the Sled for the first time under new sleepers with Matt McMahon's Dozer. After a few teething troubles we got our act together and layed 7 packs of sleepers on the Sunday. That represents 175 sleepers and is the BEST days progress to date. Now we have a lot of track pinning to do. Thanks go to Matt for providing the dozer."

We could do with some more help so if you are able bodied and can lend a hand, even if only for a few days, the next week long camp runs from 22nd to 28th September. Ring Bob Conners on 6336 1211 to arrange accommodation
