Cliff,
On looking further at this photo, it looks like the Leyland gantry is pulling the trailer, a rope being visible. I think the dozer has been loaded on a truck or trailer and this trailer is being manouvered on to it as well. The "trailer" is obviously some kind of machine and it looks vaguelly reminisent of a machine used by the USAAF in England for laying rolls of asphalt or bitumen when building runways quickly. Knowing that there were lots of airfields up along the Stuart Highway, this could be an answer. Also the wheel looks like it is of US origin.
