Apparantly theres photos of it in the football hall of fame in melbourne, its the only gravel footy field in australia. Probably plenty of dirt ones though. Its pretty rough down there on the "wild west" of tassie, when i took that pic, there were heaps of donuts and burnouts on the footy field lol

yeah there is also pink stuff down here. The pink colour comes from the local quartz they use and is just a coincidence. The white is on purpose i think

crikey lucas, ive played rugby(union) on some pretty rough fields before and getting tackled on the cricket pitch is always felt weeks later, but nothing like that, thats pretty mental mate, thanks for sharing. on a side note tho, you gAyFL blokes dont really know how to tackle anyway, its all just a bunch of pushing and shoving, so i spose it wouldnt be too bad.



as to this, i have seen lots of white roads up my way and especially out north of griffith, i didnt know thats what it was for, just thought the council was tight a$$ on the stuff they used or somthing... interesting to know tho!

Think you'll find it's white because that's the colour of the country rock on the West Coast-quartzite to be specific.

Yeah your probably right but i didnt think they would set up a processing plant to process local rock. But then again theres a whole new section near Zeehan that is really pink and that must be from local rock. Interesting though. Maybe the rock is just a by-product from one of the mines. But why were the roads traditionally black until fairly recently when the local rock would have been the same colour for ever.

If they used to be hotmix then little rock in that. Many of those west coast roads have had local rock roads for ages. They are very very grippy due to the sharp facets on the rock.

Yeah makes sense but the white and pink colours have only appeared in the last ten years or so.
