DESCRIPTION
A new 128m boardwalk was built connecting the reserve to the Field River mouth. The project is part of the Marion Council Coastal Walkway upgrade and extension. APR Composites material was selected as the best option for exposed environments that require durable components for safe public use. APR Composites was used to build the substructure (posts, joists, bracing and bearers) and decking.

Hallett Cove is a coastal suburb of Adelaide, South Australia located in the City of Marion 21 kilometres (13 miles) south of the Adelaide city centre. It has a population of more than 12,000 people. Adjoining suburbs are Marino to the north, Trott Park and Sheidow Park to the east and Lonsdale to the south. The name Kareildung has been mistakenly ascribed to Hallett Cove as an Indigenous name. The Kaurna name of Murrkangga was derived from the meaning of Kareildung and applied specifically to the Amphitheatre in the Hallett Cove Conservation Park. Sites within the conservation park are of great geological and archaeological significance, as well as containing sites of great cultural significance to the Kaurna people, including a significant site on the Tjilbruke Dreaming Track. The park features Aboriginal artefacts used by the Kaurna people about 2,000 and the Kartan people up to 40,000 years ago. Geological features include glacial striations on the clifftop which form part of the evidence for the Permian glaciation of southern Australia, then part of Gondwana. Hallett Cove itself is a small rocky beach, named after John Hallett, who came across it in 1837 whilst searching for missing stock. The Field River runs out to sea at the southern end.
Very good, excellent range of products for multiple purposes, garden edging to fencing to decking, their product usage is only limited by imagination. Chances are they will have something that you'll use in your next building project.
Sales manager (Graham) quickly addressed my on line question and helped me solve my rainwater tank needs. Thanks so much.
