Large Winch Arrives for Cotter Dam Construction
A massive winch arrived from Sydney to aid the Cotter Dam project. The drum is about six feet in diameter and the unit weighs 17 tons, supplied by the Metropolitan Water, Sewerage and Drainage Board. The 25 ton combined winch travels on a low loader convoy of three vehicles. Clearance was required as the bridge at the Murrumbidgee River was temporarily altered for crossing, with railings removed to permit passage.
