no economic down turn here

still off topic

i drove from adelaide to port augusta this morning and you can tell that roads are built by the lowest tender.

the trucks rip up the "repaired" bits in no time because they are just a surface scouring and retaring.

the new bits looks mostly like its all a superficial slapping a road on the groupnd rather than a proper build. the substructure of the road seems to be missing. pat down the dirt hard, add gravel, roll it in and hit it with some bitumen.
