For about 2 weeks now we have had the council preparing for the new road that is going to built outside our place. First they brought the excavators in to clear away all the trees and bushes. Now they have brought trucks in to take away the tonnes of dirt that is lying around.
Before our trip to Noosa we asked the overseer of the roadworks if they could dump some dirt at our place, and they did - over 20 truck-loads of it. If you knew the average weight of dirt you’d be able to figure out how much it weighed. My dad said that 1² metre of dirt would roughly equal 1 tonne (1 metric ton). That means that if there is 8 tonnes of dirt in each of the 20 truckloads there would be about 160 tonnes of dirt in total.
Anyway, following is some photos of what’s happening. As in the last post, I am including captions with the images.
Two excavators working just opposite our place (well the red one anyway).
Three trucks waiting to be filled while the fourth one is departing.
A grader and compacter working at the intersection between Adelaide Park Rd and Woodbury Rd.
Some more machines working. Photo taken near the intersection.
