Mount Gambier, SA
Rock near the surface is mostly an advantage
Mount Gambier does not keep a container for collection. Mount Gambier stock comes from Adelaide or Melbourne terminals, whichever holds the grade. The unit comes from Adelaide port terminals or from Melbourne terminals, whichever holds the length and grade. Photographs stand in for a visit. Limestone is close under the soil. It drains well, and a cave still deserves a look before four corner loads go down.
Whichever terminal holds it
Adelaide and Melbourne, in this sentence, mean port terminals. Photos of the Mount Gambier unit go out before dispatch, and delivery is quoted to the address. Shorter units on made ground come off a tilt-tray. Plantation blocks that turn only on a log landing, and any long unit, need a crane. The quote names which terminal is releasing the unit.
Limestone towns around
Millicent is 5280, on the wet flats to the west. Penola is 5277, toward the vineyards. Port MacDonnell is 5291, on the coast. Naracoorte is 5271, north on the limestone. Casterton is 3311, across the border. Tarpeena, Coonawarra and Glencoe belong in the enquiry when the gate is there.
Rock, voids and landings
This ground carries a truck through winters that heavier clay would stop. You often cannot dig: rock is within a spade of the surface, so build the low end up on bearers or small pads. A known cave or a fenced hollow should be named, because the corners are point loads. Around Tarpeena and Glencoe, turning is on the log landing and gates are commonly locked. Name who opens the gate. Millicent flats can soften, and a drain crossing there deserves a photograph.
Pine, dairy and cray
Contractors through Tarpeena and Nangwarry need a store for saws and chain. Compton and Glencoe want feed on the dairy country. Coonawarra wants barrels. Port MacDonnell wants cray pots and boat gear. Mills on the Jubilee Highway want a lock-up.
Notes on siting over rock and on stock that can leave either port.
Rock is a spade down. How is the unit levelled?
Up, not down. Bearers or small pads bring the low corners up to the high one. Have them on the block before the truck arrives.
Should a known cave change where it stands?
Yes. Corner loads are concentrated. A mapped cave, a deepening hollow, or ground previously fenced off should be kept clear. Say so in the enquiry.
What does a plantation delivery need from the buyer?
Someone to unlock the gate, and a plain description of the landing. Tracks in the pines do not reward guessing. The truck turns on the landing.
