Heavy cargo by M V Yalata
Excitement rises as the Ya latha carries heavy cargo from Dennis to the Annie River in a bid to set a regional milestone. With no jetty, a deep water approach allows unloading onto the bank, where awaiting teams will distribute goods across the peninsula. The operation faces challenges including a ten ton bulldozer, Army blitz equipment, and return loads for the PMG jeep and traders. Main Roads crews prepare a ramp and other supports to withstand the heavy machine. Local workers joke about white elephants among rehabilitated machinery while MR C. McHugh and team push to complete the loading and repairs before the wet season.
