,We can see here the portable site buildings set up inside the fence.
Actually the builder is a friend of our family - has been for many years - and the contract was only let to him a few days earlier, the "civil works" on the site being almost completed... that means all surveying, drains, cable ducts and pits, roadways, and stuff like that.
In a development of this size the owners (Warrina Homes) are able to learn from their previous developments, and several inovative (and professional) ways of managing the project have been implemented. We shall see if they streamline the process.

These shots were the last two on the panoramic camera, taken just a few days before the 9th April inspection, and it was at this time we turned in a 24-exposure roll of ASA400 35mm negative film as well as this throw-away "Fun" panoramic camera for processing.
Very sad to say, not a single frame had been exposed on the 135 film, so we are stuck with whatever is in the new panoramic camera, which has about half of its film left to shoot.
You can see an enormous stockpile of soil to the right of the right hand picture. Advantage was taken of its being there to take a series of unique panoramic shots of the site from about forty feet or more above the final ground level. This very large pile of dirt has been christened "Mount Sinai" by the Construction Manager!
Formwork was being slowly removed on visitors' arrival. Number 18 (opposite no 15) is one of the few that has not been sold, but many prospective residents from this cul-de-sac were able to meet - Nos.15, 16, 17, 19. Photos were taken of some standing by the gaping holes in the ground where their footings would be poured!
Here are 1, 2, 3, 4 photos of the first floor slab (no.16) being finished off by workmen; here are the gaping holes in the ground adjacent #15 and #14, and the view looking north from the end of our cul-de-sac while all this activity was going on.
This is all very exciting!
