Duratec Australia HMAS Stirling Low Level Bridge Repairs Project
HMAS Stirling is the Royal Australian Navy’s primary base on
the west coast and is located on Garden Island, 5km off the WA
coast. The 305m low level bridge is located at the mainland end
of the causeway which links the island to Point Peron.
Duratec was engaged to perform repairs due to the
accelerated deterioration of the structural steel under the
bridge deck.
Historical Rockingham WA WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Rockingham is a suburb and regional centre south-west of the Perth city centre and south of Fremantle. It has a beachside location at Mangles Bay, the southern extremity of Cockburn Sound. To its north stretches the maritime and resource-industry installations of Kwinana, Western Australia and Henderson. Offshore to the north-west is Australia's largest naval fleet and submarine base, Garden Island, connected to the mainland by an all-weather causeway.
Rockingham was first surveyed in 1847, it was gazetted as a town in 1897. In its early days, Rockingham was a busy port, shipping jarrah timber and sandalwood overseas. Now, as a satellite city in Perth's southern corridor, together with Mandurah, it is among Australia's fastest-growing residential districts. The maritime tradition has been strengthened by steady growth of the Royal Australian Navy's main fleet base HMAS Stirling and by the development of major shipbuilding and marine support services at nearby Henderson.
Since the nineteeth century, abundant sightseeing and recreational attributes have been the basis of a tourism industry. Visitors can launch small boats or board ferries to view dolphins, seals, pelicans and penguins in the adjacent Marine Park. The coast at nearby Safety Bay is ideal for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Generous free barbecues and picnic facilities are provided on the seafront, supplementing a choice of hotels and restaurants. Rockingham City Shopping Centre[3] is the regional centre which attracts significant non-local business, having a licence to trade on Sundays during public and school holidays.

Australia Day 2019 - Downwinder - KaheKai OC1
Australia Day 2019 - 32deg & 25+ Knots SSW wind
Solo downwinder from Rockingham Beach to South Beach Fremantle, Western Australia.
Consisting of a protected 3km warm up paddle inside the causeway to Garden Island then from the Coat Hanger Bridge it's 20km of pure bumps to Fremantle!
Tucking inside Garden Island this course through the shipping channel of Cockburn Sound is a forgotten gem for downwind conditions along the Perth coast.
Tested out the KaheKai Weedless Rudder for the 1st time.....
Definitely more of a handful to steer - with the smaller raked fin popping out several times and tending to broach!
