Ed. Sez… Once again the problem of straying stock is rearing its head. Only last weekend, four vehicles were involved in a collision which resulted from one vehicle hitting a cow which was on the road, just north of Moruya. At the weekend I saw another dead cow beside the road near Bodalla. And to top it off, last week, when driving to Bega to have the paper printed, I countered no less than 13 cows beside, and on the road, in different places. I mentioned in a previous issue that the time had come to invest in a truck and a freezer; I’m even more convinced now.
Despite being several weeks behind schedule the Kiora Bridge construction is expected to be completed by Easter 1977, according to contractor Mr Noel McIntosh. He said the 1.3 metre tide change made it impossible for the five-man crew to work during some parts of the day. The working bridge platform has been in use for months and all the piles have been driven. The solid piers are constructed from three pre-made concrete cavity segments which are individually fille with re-inforced concrete. The Eastern bank abutment will be built last.
