Hi,
I photographed these Cat,793 trucks in a yard in Brisbane, most had not had the skips fitted.
A week later I passed another yard full just off the Bruce Highway near Gympie but had no chance to photograph them.
I was talking to a guy at a barbi. and he was telling me that his company had imported them for the mining industry and due to a downturn in mining they couldnt sell them.
He was not a happy chappy!! :( :(
I'm sorry to say I upset him further by telling him that the best machine Cat. had ever produced was the "Propaganda Machine." :lol: :lol: :lol:

My guess, thirty something, maybe forty.

Yep for sure loads of mining gear parked up, waiting for the coal prices to improve.
