This area is awesome, well worth dropping into,
check out the Woakwine Cutting...


The Woakwine Cutting is an outstanding example of engineering. Accomplished by just two men, a D7 tractor was used to make a cutting through the Woakwine Range to drain swamp land for farming. The project began in May 1957 and took three years to complete.
The length of the cutting is one kilometre and the depth at the deepest point is 28.34 metres. The width of the cutting at the top is 36.57 metres and three metres at the bottom. There were 276,000 cubic metres of material removed using a new D7 tractor over a total of 5000 hours.
The cutting has a viewing platform, information boards and machinery on display.
