I discovered an old Walter Wright Crane Brochure a few days ago and there are some interesting heavy haul photos that I should share.

The third photo has me confused; I could swear they are going inbound on the outbound lanes of Ipswich Road through (about) Gailes. (which I think a lot of that has since been resumed for the road widening).

Someone please feel free to correct me.

Wonder if these are the same trucks in the second photo ? Taken at Bell Bay in the late 80s when they built an oil drilling rig here
