Worlds most expensive freight..
We finally managed to get to Banks Peak just on 9:30 this morning. We had a half hour Helicopter ride to the lower clearing and then a 300' climb to the peak while the helicopter lifted the gear into the site. It's Absolutely impossible to get equipment in and out of the site any other way as there are no roads and the climb was muddy after some fairly heavy rain overnight.
Everything went smoothly and we got about half the sensors installed with the rest to be installed early next week when some parts arrive from Cairns. This place has it's own schedule and it's very slow.
I am heading back to Melbourne tomorrow for a few days before I head to the back of Broken Hill in the Jabiru later in the week. I have a total of about 5 days at home in the next month and a half with May looking like my next break. Public holidays for everyone but me. Some how I am going to spend my third Easter in a row at Monkira..
Bets are open on where I am going to be on the Queens Birthday holiday in June.
