With the help of a digger and manual labour, the foundation metal was laid. Covid and the festive season will, unfortunately, delay getting clay on site to shape the track but it is expected to happen at the end of January.
In the meantime, Work will continue and soon the Jump start will take shape. Dean Coleman a well-known local lad, from Spiral Drillers is organising to drive timber foundation piles for the Jump Start structure around the 9th or 10th December.
We will give a heads up of the date so do come on down and have a look and learn how it’s done.

Kia ora neighbours, the traffic lights are in sight and we'd love to know what you're most looking forward to once Aucklanders have more freedom. Maybe it's being reunited with family outside Auckland, going to the pub, or just being able to hang out inside a friend's house … View moreKia ora neighbours, the traffic lights are in sight and we'd love to know what you're most looking forward to once Aucklanders have more freedom.
