They’ve done a great job, in a short time. When the site is finished, it will be a perfect reminder to all who went through Ganges, at the start of their naval career. Love to see it when the surrounding area is finished and the immediate houses and roads are constructed. Hope nelson hall and other remaining buildings can be made useful for the residents that buy the houses.
