Another application for our rock.
This entrance was created using our 200mm - 500mm stone from the Mary's Mount quarry and was done by Model Stone Masonry from Armidale.

Our quarry has been an active contributor to one of Australia's biggest infrastructure projects; Inland Rail.
Our trucks and our subbies trucks have been running ballast to the Narrabri to North Star section for the past couple of months. Over the last week we're ramped that up by also loading ballast trains out of Emerald Hill.
Buck has been doing all the loading and he goes all right for old bloke.
By Wednesday, we'll have sent 12,600 tonnes by train and a total of over 74,000 tonnes so far.

Update on Buck's Prado...
It's been located and looks to be OK. A big shout out to all who shared our post and others posts. I'm sure the combined efforts of everyone helped make this happen.
It's now in the hands of the Police.

Many of the people who follow our page will know Buck Hulm. Buck is a good friend to many of us and many of you would know him from his days at Whitehaven.
Unfortunately Buck has become a victim to the grubs that steal other people's property.
Last night Buck's Toyota Prado was stolen from Stock Road. It is white, has a flicker light on top of it and has the rego number EXJ33W.
Like all of us, Buck has worked hard to get what he has so if you can keep an eye out for his Prado we'd be most grateful.
If you happen to spot it, can you let the Police know or give us a call.
