Overview
My Cub reporter in Australia sent in this report by satellite.
"Dave Clarke reporting from Victor Harbor"
"Last weekend, I went with some friends to visit a garden railway in Victor Harbor some 90 kilometers away. It is being run as a commercial operation and is a new addition to the 'Wildrose Miniature Village'.
The construction of the railroad began in mid December and the first stage was completed in time for its official opening on the first weekend in February.
This was no easy feat when you consider that they had to:
Cart in 100 tonnes of soil. (110.25 tons)
200 tonnes of rocks (220.5 tons)
Laid 650 meters of track. (2,132.5 feet)
Construct an operations room. (Build)
Assembled over 50 Piko kits. (Over 50 Kits)
All in all, they didn't do too bad a job in such a short time."
