Just completed 115 slope assessments on the Alpine Way in southern NSW, with Matt Kilham. The package included mostly ARL3-5 slopes. The ARL5 slopes were first assessed when the wider slope assessment program commenced in 2005.
Many changes along the Alpine Way in that time including wide use of rock fall mesh to control rock falls from cuttings along the narrow road. Many corrugated steel culverts were found to be in less than satisfactory condition and some of these have resulted in changes to earlier ratings.
All in all an enjoyable 2 weeks in the bush. We stayed at Waratah House in Khancoban (see AirBNB).
