If it is indeed for Defense purposes then I guess it makes sense. As they can only drive at night due to the day time temperatures being too hot for our Defense force to operate.
I shit you not, just been talking to some Army guys and girls based in
Darwin.
They had just come back from the training ground out at Mount Bundy, night exercises only as day time temps don't allow them to train during the day.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I heard that.
I'm north of 50 and still crawl around in roof cavities for work during the build up. Sometimes for hours!
I remember doing a job here 10 years ago, 8 days on the trot, 8 hours a day. December. All in the roof!
I would get down every hour or so for 10 minutes, remember walking and standing on the concrete in full sun and feeling cold. Close to heat stroke no doubt, but in my 20's I could have run around all day in a wet suit at Mount Bundy.
So there's my rant. So yeah, they need to be able to travel at night so they need sealed roads :-)
