A note on how Berwick developed: A quarry opened in 1859 to supply ballast for the railway line along the same route, which opened in 1877, and a spur line was constructed to Berwick railway station to transport the metal. It is a fair guide to the age of the outlets the equipment plugs into. Our coverage around Berwick takes in Beaconsfield, Clyde North, Harkaway and Narre Warren, which is why a job here rarely waits long for a slot.

Berwick sits roughly 19.5 kilometres south of Boronia, where we are based. That distance is why a call here is answered from a van that is already in the area rather than from a call centre.
