It was to be the final day to finish the last few metres of
planking on the early stages of the Mount Field East track. It was now a
considerable distance which meant that these boards had been carried in stages
for 480 metres.
Now the site was one of boot tripping roots where the
surrounding soil had been washed out over time. It didn’t look all that easy,
but it was most difficult. In fact, I was told to go and check the track
counter, a 30 minute walk up the track; clearly no one thought I would be any
help. I hoped it would be done by the
time I got back, but I was to be disappointed. But eventually the problems were
overcome and the work finished off. That
just left some staining to do but it does leave installing wire to reduce the
chances people slipping.
