Shep's Hill fencing - Page 4

I keep meaning to register some interest with the Tour Bus company for a possible solution to this problem.

$10/hr and come sit on the top level of one of those double deckers, over the fence line and also at a better angle. Also a nice stable surface to put those tripods.

Discount rates for YSSY message board members of course!

Good idea using the double decker buses.

Clear photos over the fence, and for us who have difficulty standing for long periods, a seat to sit on.

Last Sunday we saw one or two people wander across the road and use the top deck of the double decker for spotting

By the reactions of the bus depot staff, I don't think they had permission...

I'm sure they didn't but the unobstructed view was a big attraction as the trees lining the north of Shep's Hill become increasingly bushy.

Luckily we had the use of Damien's observation Deck atop his Commodore so had a clear view without needing to leave the Hill.

Ok, now all of you go to woolies and get yourself a box of grass seeds, (only $9) and then spread it around to speed up the process. Not hard, cheap and also means that you should get the spot back quicker.

If the guy stuck in the mud is who I think he is, tell him he got a job with qantaslink and watch him get outta there quicksmart and watch him run at mach 1 speed back to Adelaide.

DO NOT bring grass seeds! It will attract the birds!!!!

Birds and aviation don't mix!!!

It will, however, give you something to do during the day Nige

What? Shoot the silly bugger spreading the seed?

Brenden, I admire the intention, but I thought you as an engineer, who has no doubt removed bird guts from aircraft (engines are especially gooey

), would be the last one to encourage birds near aircraft operations!
Perhaps if some loose strands of kikuyu (a fast growing, non seeding grass) were buried in the dirt the area might stabilise quicker.
