Since the new shipment of track arrived on 15 December, there has been considerable progress with about 70 m of new track laid.

New track past the gazebo and the second of two holes punched through the surrounding hedge. |
|
Removal of two not-so-precious bushes opened up a route through a bushy area. The bare tree trunks belong to Silver Princess flowering gums which have spectacular flowers in the spring. |
|
A shallow cutting was required through a garden bed so the track could flow through into another "garden room". |
|
The current end of the track. This area was a bit waterlogged last winter, so the track has been built up using surplus dirt from elsewhere, with some slotted drainage pipes under the ballast.
Here is the latest track plan. Recent track construction has been past the gazebo, and through the trees and garden areas along the southern boundary.
