BA1343/16 /35 Malcolm Halls Creek Airport Despite being troubled by 1997 Edwards the persistent wet season the contractors were able to finish the new bituminised runway and associated works early in the new year.

This is very hard to do from a plane, but the two photos match perfectly.

So once again I called on Malcolm to do a bit of aerial photography for me, with the whole police block of land firmly in mind. this photo shows the entire police block as it was in March 1993 before any building had began. The new jail did not turn up until October 1993, the new houses were built in 1994 and the new police station in 1996-1997. Even the new jail had to [be] relocated in 1997 to make way for the new station. The photo below was taken just four and a half years later. What a difference a few years make!! BA1343/16 /86 Malcolm The Police Station When I asked Malcolm to 1997 Edwards complex 1997 take the annual aerial photos of the town I gave him the 1993 photo of the police station complex and asked him to take the 1997 photo from much the same position. I was hoping they would match up, just like the two airport runway photos seen earlier in this album. Comparing the two photos on these pages, Malcolm and the pilot did a great match-up. In the four and a half year interval between these two photos
