Helicopter concreter

[kemjak57]

Off to Mt. Cook at Cooktown on Sunday to lay foundations for a helipad on top of the mountain to allow for landing safely to service communication towers. My mate was involved in an accident up there last year when a chopper was hit with a freak gust of wind and it toppled over hitting him and throwing him into a large rock. He was in the poo for good while but is back at it. He is actually working up there with us :|. We will camp up there for a week while we get the concrete poured. Then we head to Weipa to set up and pour a few house slabs. Can't wait to stop in at Coen and get some concentrates to pan out after work. I bought some cons off the forum and the material is very similar to the stuff at Coen. A two week adventure and looking forward to it. Whoever wins the Guess the coins Competition I will post the prize asap when I return. Cheers all, Rick

The bed is on the trailer and I have the alloy for the sluice. I have to get it cut out and bent up then I can fit the goldhog matting. If I had the time I could finish it in a few days but it's hard to get free time. Cheers mate

That's always fun isn't it. We are usually done by 1 pm. Then it's fishing. Just reading in the local rag that there is a 4 Mir croc taking dogs up there atm so I might cast from a bit further back this time
