Apologies if this has already been covered. Last Saturday we joined a few othes to watch the weather balloon launch at the Giles met Station. The launch is included in a tour of the station and an explanation of the work done there - very informative and interesting. But we were also told by Craig our guide that ours would be the 7th last tour as his maintainance position has been made redundant. So in a couple more days these tours will be a thing of the past, a great shame.
From Giles we travelled the GCR as far as
Warburton, then travelled down the Connie Sue Highway and into
Laverton via the
Anne Beadell Highway. Very little traffic in either direction. The Connie Sue is currently very rough and corrugated.
But a surprise was in store at
Neale Junction as two Council graders have been working out of there for some time. The ABH west from
Neale Junction is graded and in excellent condition with just the occasional loose sandy patch to watch out for. ABH has also been graded east from
Neale junction but not sure how far. The Connie Sue has been graded south from
Neale Junction to the
shire boundary and in a couple of weeks the graders will start work on the northern section of the Connie Sue.
Cheers,
Val.
