Cent. spares vs Aussie ingenuity

[Richard Coutts-Smith]

Centurion Road Wheel powered ski tow, novel use for military spares, and many would say way more fun.
This rope tow was used for many years up in the Victorian High Country, up until the mid 90's when a sudden on rush of ludicrous insurance price hikes put paid to activities like this. In a Catch 22 affair, the ski club had to stop having a ski tow so they could remain a ski club....
I joined the club the year it was decommissioned, and never saw it run, which is my excuse for not noticing the wheels.
It was returned soldiers in 1947 who founded it, I like to think it was one of these guys who had the brainwave to machine the rubber off the road wheel to suit the rope.
