Davo,

So you’d be in the industry in charge of similar work would you, mate?

voiceover – “That was really, really well controlled”

Ummmm, no it wasn’t mate. There was fly-rock from multiple holes.

There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering Kaboom?

The earth-shaterring kaboom was removed from the footage as it was found to cause undue stress and trauma to the lesser known Earless Lizard.

You can see a fair bit from the road, there’s a viewing area not far from the cotter… definitely worth a look.

Urriara x-ing, rightish fairlight road (becomes loose metal), (left at the end), right at the end of that (now sealed), left towards cotter, stop just before the cotter (viewing area is on a blind left hand bend, watch for traffic), picnic/fish/swim/kayak at Causarina on the way through….then back via Cotter rd.

Or just cycle it like half of Canberra seems to do. Note there were signs advertising a road race or something this weekend so there are likely to be delays/road closures.
