Slow progress, but progress nonetheless

It's been almost perfect weather for working outside, although some days the wind is a bit chilly!  We even had a small amount of rain yesterday to settle the dust, which was very welcome.  The clearing continues around the rocky outcrop and also slowly along the main vehicle track.

It's hard to take a photo that really captures the beauty of this area well, but here is the mighty Fergie, which is absolutely vital to this work, standing in the middle of the newly cleared area.  All the cleared dirt area and the rocks were originally covered in dense scrappy tea tree and dead 'stuff'.  The trailer is loaded ready to go to the dump tomorrow.  You can get an idea of what it was like before I started by looking at the tall, grey, tea-tree in the background, which forms an almost impenetrable barrier.

Just below this rocky outcrop is where part of the miniature railway will run, curving around towards the as yet un-named lower station to the west.  I hope the rocky area will be visible from the train.
