Quote “View of a Fowler 16 nhp single cylinder ploughing engine no. 5872 of 1889, on display outside the Gnowangerup shire offices, Yougenup Road, Gnowangerup, Western Australia. It was used as a ploughing engine from its arrival in Western Australia in 1889 until 1912, and then, following conversion work, as a steam bulldozer until the late 1920s. It has been on display at its present site since 1989.”

Love all 3 of them MRM, but I have never transported an outsize dumper like that and I wondered. Do they leave the brakes off on it just in case they catch a bump in the road.

Yes, a common mistake, but those were the days, dinner, bed and breakfast for 10 bob. Some were good, a few very good, and many simply bloody awful. The reason why so many of us slept at The Three Pedals.
