The above two photos are of the "Blackbutt Range" there is huge earthworks going on here to hold back the hillside and re-align the road. Last time we came through here it was one way only controlled by traffic lights - a year on and it is still going on, it is looking great and is a mamoth job, the hillside slide down over the road and into the valley below - you can see the hillside has been sprayed with fibre glass underneath this is layers of wire netting with drainage also for the run off.
Above 3 photos show Jan and Trev's van and our BBQ lunch thanks guys it was great to catch up - see ya in Townsville.
Day off for us Sunday yippeeeeee, we had friends come for a visit a few weeks ago they were doing some house sitting and were leaving to go back to Nanango. Jan & Trevor Appleton we first met up with them when we were living at the Sunseeker Caravan park and have stayed in touch since they/we left there, Jan and Trev still go back to Sunseeker when they are staying in Caloundra. They are currently staying at the Nanango Caravan Park where they have been doing a little bit of work in payment for camp fees, so we decided when they were leaving us that night we would call out and see them before they head north to Townsville on the 15th August. It was a lovely drive out and we arrived there at midday and had a nice BBQ lunch and spent the afternoon sitting and chatting until it was time for us to leave for the 2hr drive home. We arrived back at FKS at 6.15pm feeling still full from lunch so decided an easy light tea would be the answer. Thanks Jan and Trevor we hope to catch up in Townsville for another BBQ and chat, in the not too distant future.
