Nice gear.Yeh! did everyone think the mining boom would last for ever.over capitilised, have my toys.....blah blah blah.Hope the single operators keep thier chins up.
It wasn't well run and the owner was a bloke who liked spending money and couldn't manage finances. Very good at moving heavy gear but horrible at running a business. Needed someone to handle the finance/business side.
And did anybody notice the almost total lack of interest shown by the good folk of Bendigo ???? Must have seen it all before or else still in bed. !!!!

The rig...the driving...absolutely elegant.
Great footage!
I grew up in Waratah St right near the Ordinance Factory. Saw a lot of this sort of thing.
could move heavy gear...but they didn't have a truck big enough for Johns ego apparently
Thanks Steve for the share. Bastard of a way out of town though.
a brilliant video and those tractor units were spotless and the paint jobs were fantastic a big thumbs up from me
DRE39 base - 1370W Dragline Blackwater Mine. Nice driving techniques.
I love the way that thing sounds
No one doesn't like Australia only the best 🇦🇺

Those vehicles belong to VicRoads, which is the State Transport Authority
