After the rain comes the FLIES!
(who said there were "no flies on Bluey") |
Bluey & Bob put out the sleepers ready for the Bobcat. |
President Shane donated his 50 tonne crane to assist in the track work (along with a lot of other stuff he has donated!) |

The crane made short work of unloading some old track sections - these will form the basis of replacement crossing sections.

Observers, family and friends.
