Ruff location at the WTP, Werribee, Victoria

[brian fleming <>]

Hi Peter,
  Strictly speaking this area should be the 'Borrow Pits' - in civil 
engineering, road-making etc., this means the site or excavation from 
which material for embankments and such has been taken.
  This definition was approved by Brian Fleming, Civil Engineer, (retired).
