Some very good pics in there . Sadly while most of these probly eneded up with little or no injury to the operator, sometimes they end in the worst way ! I used to know a bloke who lived 2 doors up from us in a small WA mining town who due to his own misjudgement, backed over the side of a bench in the dark. It was a 260 tonne payload haulpac water tanker. He was alive and conscious in the wreckage for a few hours after wards, talking with his rescuers. he didnt come home .

A young bloke that used to be a mechanic for my dad slid off a cliff in one of those big back end loader ute trucks and went like 50m down in mud/clay/slush in WA. Poor bugger :(

The caravan parks down by the Leichart river, were next door to each other, The Copper City caravan park and the Riverside caravan park. Yep we lived in our van at the Copper City caravan park when we first went there in 1973..Only going to stay in the Isa for about 6 months and left 15 years later... |
