Stockyard Hill Wind Farm

Blade Viewing

On Friday 3rd of May, our Year 8's were lucky enough to get a close look at a Wind Turbine Blade.  Students are currently studying Energy and this was a great opportunity to see a renewable energy source first-hand.  This particular blade was an amazing 68.6 metres long and just under 20 tonne.  Each blade is held on by approximately 60 bolts.

Students were able to sign their names on the blade.  Thank-you to Goldwind for the viewing and to Beaufort Cricket Club for providing a free BBQ.
