Hunter Valley Bridge Install 1 - Completed December 2006
This was the first of four 80 foot bridges to be installed in Waiparous. SRD provided the bridges and decking. Being the first installation of its kind by volunteers, this was an amazing success! Well over 30 volunteers participated and suffered the cold December weekend to see it finished!
These bridges take more then just one weekend to prepare. Often times it takes at least two to three months for a whole crew of people to organize and prep the construction site then gather materials and volunteers. Machinery, tools and transportation for the them also needs to be coordinated by project leaders and volunteers.
Special thank you to Dave Dunlop for organizing materials, machinery and heading up this project! Never before had volunteers taken on a project of this scope in the Ghost\Waiparous, and it sure was a sight to see the cranes lifting the bridges onto the work site.
Thankfully, SRD was able to donate $20,000 towards the installation of all four bridges!
Thank you to The Second Gear Club for providing all the hungry volunteers with food!

Hunter Valley Bridge Install 2 - March 2007
The second 80 foot bridge installation was completed by volunteers in March 2007. Unlike the first bridge installation, the weather was great despite a bit if snow still on the ground! Again we had over 30 volunteers attend the work weekend and The Second Gear Club once again donated hot dogs, refreshments and even some entertainment!
