Duck Down Improvements

26.2.17 Over the weekend a crew of keen volunteers worked to fix the boggy sections of Duck Down Track at Teetotal that have resulted from the wet spring and summer that we have experienced. Using the new power barrow, several tonnes of clay was mined in the clearing at the top of the track and carted along the track to fill the hollows. Jakmat was then installed in some places to help stabilse the surface with more clay spread over the top again to bind it in.

One more day's work should see the whole of the wet sections fixed. The track is already quite rideable and better than it ever was.

The first creek crossing improved and another section fixed with rocks.
