Coal stage at Casino - incomplete with front sheeting not yet installed (Records NSW)

John Shields: 

It was well creosoted.
Local legend when I worked there was that the coal-grab fitter, who made a motzah out of overtime and weekend call-outs to repair the coal grab, would bring in match boxes full of white-ants and feed them to the coal stage timbers as it was being built in the hope of restoring his supplementary income.
The structure was so well creosoted that they completely ignored it and ate the shed instead. I'm not here to say that the story is true, but when I was there the coal stage was a solid as a rock and the only thing keeping the shed up was the white-ants holding hands.
