2 weeks ago we had Fawett Cattle Co's little Tipper bogged near the office, they got their large front end loader over here and pulled it out.

Then 2 days later one of our staff got their Feroza bogged on the over side of the river, so we took my Troopy and the Station Triton over and got out, I didn't a photo, it was pouring down rain,
Then an hour ago tonight TopDeck got their bus bogged near the office , it was still on the track, isn't it amazing how it's always the left side that goes down. We used a small tractor to get that out.

Doug
It sounds like you had a very busy time, but I can't view any of the photos. I don't know if it's my computer or what. Can someone let me know if the photos are viewable or not.

It takes a while, but the pics do show up. I had to do a right click and "show picture" to see them.
Cheers

Doug, Captain and Craig F
There must have been some delay last night with my computer for the photos not open. But the gremlins have left and the photos opened up with the Post when I checked this morning. Thanks for the help.

Dunworkin,
Yes it was a bit embarrassing...I could still move an inch or more so technically was not bogged, just delayed...lol.
Yes it is on a
mine construction site in
port Hedland.
Had no warning just went straight down..Oh
well it happens to the best of us.

"I could still move an inch or more so technically was not bogged, just delayed."
LOL, that's splitting hairs a little..........Wouldn't say it was embarrassing as the Pilbarra is pretty wet at the moment.

Yes it is slightly on the damp side at the moment.
But I should have known better than to drive close to the wall in the pit, it is always soft in them parts, just wasn't thinking.
It was a good laugh at the time. As always when you get bogged its a carton...I am the supervisor on site so I bought myself a carton...lol
Cheers
Simon.

Doug,
great to see one of those old Toyota 6000's still getting about, they were a great truck and I still see them around here. That old girl would have to be about 40 years old.
Have a good one

Was also thinking about the old Toyota trucks. I remember
well working on many Toyota DAs in
Derby in the mid 70s.
