Can't really say for sure, I think it was built that way. Someone else will have an answer!

Correct, it is Bert Barker. The Barker Brothers garage was located in Wesburn, between Yarra Junction and Millgrove, on Warburton Hwy.

That area was a happy hunting ground for CMPs as most of the numerous sawmills had several as yard cranes, log sniggers and the like. Not far from there were a couple of cut down FGT9s, one of which is now in Dubbo! The other, from Gladysdale seems to have disappeared.

Can anyone ID the other head visible? I think I know who it is.
