    There is pretty good quality clay with a bit of gravel mixed in.There is a really good gravel pit adjacent to the job with a huge amount of very good gravel.The trainer has got me cutting the hills out and using it as sub base where fill is needed.He says it will save the shire thousands in carting the gravel plus give a better flowing road.I just windrow it up then get a loader and tipper in to shift it to where I need fill.
    Got a heap of dirt ready to shift will put a couple of more pics up next week after Ive got it shifted and spread.
    That power pole is a beauty!!!! Im ready to set the loader driver up so he backs over it,he backed into whilst grading the other day.Western power are too shift it,problem is they were all set to shift the wrong pole,next to the exsisting road not in the new road.So all the paperwork/redtape has to be re done

    Dirt removed from the top of the hill used as fill in low points.


    And after a days work.


    Getting loads of "well done,top job" from workmates and the farmers around where we are working,1 even suggested today I can throw my L plates away!!!
    Will see what the trainer dude has to say tommorow when he returns for another days tuition!!!
    Will add pics from time to time,another kilometer or so to go forming the road up,then cart HEAPS of gravel in then eventually it will get black stuff on the top.
    This road is my baby,all mine from start to finish

    the cab to put the bowlers hat on?

    Yep Volvo G930.
    Nice big cab but no parcel shelf so the hat gets knocked around a bit.
    There is suposed to be a small engel fridge to keep your lunch/drinks in but the previous works supervisor removed it and kept it for himself before delivery

    Looking forward to having a go Lucus.
    Mates had a play in one,he was impressed no end.Apparentley you are supposed to go and use a simulator before trying the real deal.

    1 - The powerlines in the road may make things interesting and could help to prove the existance of the Darwin Theory of Evolution. Thank you!

    2 - Please tell the guys laying the road base to stop being funny... pot holes are not a joke!

    Nice work Andy :P
