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

Thanks again for the comments. Yes it was somewhere along the Murray so fortunately no crocs (well I didn't see any).
It was lowered down the embankment with the hand winch. Unfortunately we didn't get any photos of it being lowered down the embankment as everyone was too busy with the operation. I have got some video of it though which I'm working on uploading. Ian

"was a bit nose heavy "?
that's an understatement, like being a bit pregnant..

Ian good to see it all went to plan well done.
I thought rusty might have rode the carrier across the river in true Russel style. Max

If Rusty had rode the carrier across the river it would have needed another 3 drum for the extra weight and as you can see I not sure were you could fit another 3 drums. Well done Ian and team.

What goes round
Quote:
 The whole move went better than could be expected, next time we are going to strap the outboard to the carrier and sail on over the other side.
