15.01.2022 The remainder of the St Arnaud gravel and the final layer of crusher dust was spread yesterday morning and the two layers compacted to finish the area around the new concrete. The photos shows people generally standing around doing bugger all, but that was at the end of the job, it does not include those that contributed to the works but had departed earlier. The job is not completely finished as the remainder of the crusher dust will be spread and compacted on the old gravel... base leading to the toilets and the rear of the hall. If you have bugger all to do on Monday mid morning come down and lend a hand. As it is a public holiday weekend I would not expect works will commence very early.
