Yesterday I drove along the (gravel) public road and found to my amazement that the local council were grading the road. They are good at taking money but not too keen to spend it so that road gets attentions only each 2- 3 years at best. The actual machinery operators are good guys and suggested I get onto the council while they were in the area to get approval for "private work" After agreeing with the council to pay $219 per hour, the guys came this morning while the grader and roller were literally just outside my gates.
The section of track they fixed is very steep and they did what my Ford 6000 would have taken a week to do and nowhere near as well. The section has now been graded with good shoulders and drains. Well worth the money.
The moral to this story is to keep a watchful eye for professionals in the area and get a top class job done without paying massive transport costs for a contractor
