Default Blitz, Antars, Fodens and Bullocks in Oz.

I was sorting out some books recently, and came across a 1960 book entitled "Snowy Saga", about the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a huge hydro-electricity engineering scheme known to all Aussies. The book covers many aspects of the Scheme, including the movement of whole towns from valleys about to be flooded forever.

This is a rare book, according to the Berkelouw Rare Books Department.

Attached are several piccies from the book; one of a Blitz, one of possibly a Foden?, one of a Thornycroft Antar transporter, and another of much older form of haulage.

The Antars hauled their loads from Sydney. There is a good reference to these Antars at:

Enjoy.
