The sandstone was coming from the North-side Sewage Tunnel which was
completed last year.  The spoil was barged from Middle Harbour to White Bay
where it was stock-piled before being sent to St Marys.  The stock-pile site
at White Bay Power House was a few weeks back the set for a movie, 6 NYPD
police cars and 10 Yellow Cabs on the site.  One day two police cars were
chased across the site by a low flying black helicopter, the scene being
filmed by a copter hovering above.
