Yorke Mules
We used 2 of Ian Newby's 1 ex us army the other ex US Marines. Full on loads loaded in Abbotsford, driven on to the trailer. Then On to the ferry to the island then a short 220km drive north/west to Kelsey Bay (look up story of breakwaters of WW2 ships!) drove off the trailer down the ramp onto the landing barge 35 minutes to Yorke drove off and up the embankment and all the way to the Battery. first time a powered vehicle had been on the island probably since they hauled away the camp buildings after the war. Used them to haul additional building material off the beach that Parks dropped off to build a comfortable and by the second day very popular loo.
I only took a few photo's on my phone which I'll post shortly. Others took video. Hope they post some.
