Saturday afternoon and the Caterpillar has finished for the weekend, leaving a cleaner, wider pista. He's probably about half way up to us now. It's driveable in places but there are stretches that are very soft, dusty and stony where he's cleared back rocks and hillside to widen the bends.
We went down this afternoon for a walk, and I was amazed at the size of the Caterpillar having only seen them way above us moving hillsides when they redid the road from Yator to Cadiar a couple of years back. They looked big then but standing next to it today it's a very impressive machine. It's arm must have a reach of over 8 metres and the bucket on the end is enormous.
