Short but hard - Field East Track Upgrade

Thursday 10 March 2016

Contractors were scheduled to start laying the timber for the wet area shortly after the start of the track to Mount Field East. It was imperative to get that timber onsite so the work could commence and along with two parks staff we carried it from the old Lake Fenton car park up the track for some 200 metres. 

Now 200 metres might not sound very far, but each plank of timber is mighty heavy and it takes two people to carry each one. It was also compounded by the uneven rocky bit of track plus the bends to be negotiated, but it all got there after some 2 ½ hours of solid effort.

This project has been funded by the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife

A number of photos were taken and some will be used as before photos.
