mrsmackpaul Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 In the South Australian captial Adelaide as the young bucks stagger out of night clubs and bars heading home after a big night they would get a pie floater to help sort them out for the journey home A pie floater is the normal upside down meat pie, which no one is sure has actual meat in it Anyway it is served upside down on a bed of mushy peas and covered on tomato sauce, just the ticket to set you right after a big night on the turps It looks better in the photo than it does coming back up on the foot path at 2.00 am I have been told Happy days everyone Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/3/#findComment-520857 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavCut Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Amazing to see how they used lattice boomed cable rigs to load the trucks. Hefty booms to be able to pull the loads against the boom like that! Also interesting to see the logging arches in action behind the dozers.

mowerman Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 Yes, it’s quite fascinating. I know absolutely nothing about logging, but it always fascinates me especially their rigs. Even to this day? They always have real steel out there at least around here. Of course out here they’re mainly W 900s at 379 Peterbilt when I used to spend a lot of time in Oregon I did see quite a few Mack’s . 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/3/#findComment-520974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
