Yes Greg, it's been on the cards for a while now...

50 million cubic mtrs of sand being dredged from a Marine Park >??? WTF ? and 10 % of the substrate is covered by Sea Grass.... you know the stuff that Dugongs need to survive on... just to fill up the landfill area for the new airport extention.


NOW............ for those that want to know a FACT.

This landfill could have been brought from the mainland via trucks, but........ wait for it............. it would have caused contraversy as residents along the route would complain of dust and noise. So, in essense......... &%$K the Marine Park, &%#K the Dugongs.

Further......... seems we are digging a few tunnels about the place, and where is that fill going ?

Maybe this one should be up for grabs in consideration of the State Election just being called. ??????????????????

According to my maths, it would take 1,851,852 trips of 45 tonne truck and dog, (approximate 27 m3 capacity) to move 50 million cubic metres. If 100 trips per day were made that would equate to 18,518 days or 50 years!!!!! Am I right?
