Look what we pushed off the Gap today. Its amazing how the media interpret that no body was injured during the rockfall. This was a planned event that has taken 2 weeks to prepare to shift a 60t rock from endangering the public.
Apologies to all that use the highway as it will be closed till wednesday night.

is that the large rock that had all the wire wrapped around it above the shipping containers a while back after the big wet, or is it another one?
-
This one about 1k downhill from containers. There will be another smaller one to come down next week about 100m uphill from this
Cheers

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story !
Gee the media have a lot to answer for.

And yesterday I was abusing (under my breath) some innocent, unknown worker when I could have been abusing you personally ;D ;D ;D ;D What role have you got? Not one of the daredevils hanging off the ropes I hope.
Took me 4 hours to get home yesterday instead of the usual two >:( Whilst I get text messages from TMR about closures, they are usually so out of date, I chose to chance it again yesterday. Has worked the last 3 or 4 times. Not yesterday. Had to turn around and go up through Heifer Creek. Will be glad when it is finished.
Apparently the rock did a bit of damage to the road. And not surprised after seeing the pics.

I presume the poster said they planned to push this rock onto the road ????
If so, they bombed out badly, as anyone would know to place a few tons of dirt over the road where it was to hit !!!

Latest update is that the highway won't be open until the weekend >:( >:( >:(

Nah, looked more like dodgy bros inc !!!! 8)
50 ton of dirt might have stopped $100,000 in road repairs !!
