A convoy led by Higgins Field party reached Higgins Field along a route from Ebageolah to Coch, traversing 40 miles over rough roads. The mission included two trailers hitched to a ten-ton lorry, with 80e over ravings and trees felled to clear the way. A deal between Adean Motors Ltd and Joseph Fisher & Sons moved 12 underground storage tanks to the Coen Drome, each with 10 gallon capacity, for later pumping into transport. The Advance representative and Disposals Commissioner arrived at the Coen Drome to coordinate, while air freight delays left consignments behind as tank repairs and infrastructure work continued.
