Thursday 8th May 10 am, I have a meeting with Peter Burns (surveyor) to identify the location of survey pegs that mark the extents of a 20 metre “Legal access” that will circumnavigate The Fairly property. Once identified, Morry and I can Dozer our way through from Bushy Park Road to Timmins grid at the entry to Timmins Ridge Track…. Hmmm? good name for the access road! Woddooya reckon?
I have already walked the road with Peter Bottom to extract his version of things that will concern him, as it will now pass through his side of the new subdivision of the Fairly property.
Concerns to address will be:
- Provide 2 gates along with provisions for future installation of cattle grids at either end of the access through Peter Bottoms property.
- Busting through the existing Fairly dam which will reveal a creek crossing or two. This will be fun for those who do not have 4wds.
- Choosing the best position for the entry grid at the junction to Bushy Park Road. Positioning this cattle grid will be critical, as it will effect another access into the subdivision which has attracted a request from an adjoining block on the new subdivision.
- Choosing an initial path through the 20 metre access provision that will not damage the existing underground telephone wires which run along the same 20 metre space (apparently not in a straight line between known points).
Hmm…. Eeeeeeasy….. The above bulleted concerns will each be a major undertaking for their successful implementation. However, viewed from another angle, it will be easier to manage the unwanted guests to our part of the world and I have been shown the whereabouts of the real historical gold digging site which lies along the creek bed within the same 20 metre access provision. Maybe?.. in a romantic moment… naming this part of the track may include some suggestion of the now known historical activity that took place there many years ago. Perhaps, a late discovery may pay for the above?
