drive-into-place.JPGold-load-and-new-load2.JPGI know, I know, never before I posted three times in a day…. just a lot going on down here that we thought we should share….

Although we didnt get approval until quite late, our team and Doppelmayr have hooked into the job and now have both new towers stood and the drive Station relocated…. few more major jobs to go including relocating some snow guns, transformer and rehabilitating the site… but the team has made great progress in two weeks. The  first photo above shows the Perisher Crane lifting the drive station into place, The second shows the old load site near the new tower 2 and the new load down near the creek.The last is of the new load, with new towers 1 and 2 in place.
