Strange to think that it was driven there under its own power.Where was it Ian or shouldn't I ask? Looks a lot like it was along the Murray somewhere.

... wonderful story. Now that I've seen those pics I think I should have postponed my flight back home, shouldn't I, Rusty?

How did you bring the carrier those 4m downhill?

I think that was a recovery in good old "bush mechanic tradition" style

Greetings
Chris
