The walk from the bus stop at the entrance of the long term car park to Shep's Mound is not that far, probably 1/2 a kilometre at most.

The workers started today, and have fenced off the whole Shep Mound area.
Very nice to see things happening as planned and communicated

The final touches were put onto the fencing around Shep's Mound today.
The site will now take shape over the coming months I will keep you posted with updates as the redevelopment progresses.

Just out of interest, and for those newer members of the forum who might not know of Bruce Shepherd, I've attached a memories booklet to this post, which this forum created after his passing. (You need to be a registered member and be logged in to view the attachment)
It was printed and shared with all who attended his funeral. Some great memories there and funny stories. You can also check out this Plane Spotting Video which features Shep. https://youtu.be/xYLhM7BPhKs These two threads also features some photos: http://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=6922 http://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=11346 To have a recognised spotting area in his name at Sydney Airport, where he spent a great deal of time, making many new friends, sharing good times, right up until he passed away, is just so fitting. He'd absolutely deny it, but I know he'd be quietly very proud.

Well done to all who worked behind the scenes to make this happen. Also to acknowledge a great friend is just tops.

Thank you for the history. As someone that lives in Melbourne, I thought Shep's Mound was the beach spotting place. When I saw the photos and the tower was in the background, I had to look at Google maps! It's going to be a great spot to sit and just watch.

Great stuff and not before time!
Will parking be improved as part of the project and will it be free non-time limited parking? |
