Sugar Depot Repairs Move to Townsville

A 25 ton crane with a 140 ft jib began a 1016 mile road trip from Brisbane to remove crumpled roofing from the fire-rated bulk sugar terminal. The equipment arrives in Townsville and will be used by M. R. Hornibrook Pty. Ltd to repair the building. Temporary loading facilities are planned by next month for the 1963 season from four Lower Burdekin Mills. McDonald Wagner and Priddle engineers say half the terminal shed trusses and about 80 percent of the iron roofing must be removed from the 1000 ft shed.
