Re: [Qld] Bundy's Last Great Adventure - Mackay Again

["canetram59" <canetram59@hotmail.com>]

Tuesday, No.5 went out from Marian Mill to Finch Hatton and return thence it
travelled to Pleystowe Mill for stabling overnight. More aerial footage was
taken.
Today, No.5 headed north over the Pioneer River to Farleigh Mill territory.
It was scheduled to take 25 full bins up over the Summit but, here No.5
disgraced herself by priming badly and nothing the crew did would get it to
respond. The load was reduced to 15 full bins and this time it was
successful, although still priming badly.
No.5 has gone back to Farleigh Mill where it is stabled tonight. Tomorrow it
will be loaded onto the truck and will be off to Ingham.

David Mewes
