I believe they brought in a couple of front end loaders. One of them got bogged, but eventually they got it and the grader out. Then they broke up the road train and towed the prime mover and first trailer out, then took one trailer out at a time. Obviously not a 5 minute job.Dam that grader is going to be harder to get out Now then the truck
Yea that had to be a long day and some good tow guys to get that mess cleaned upI believe they brought in a couple of front end loaders.

Pretty sure they were local council workers who helped out. They have to be pretty versatile out there. It was in a very isolated area.Yea that had to be a long day and some good tow guys to get that mess cleaned up
Well you have to appreciate that outside of the major centres and tourist attractions, and Highway One and the Stuart Hwy, almost all the roads in over half the country are gravel or dirt roads. And large areas of the rest of the country are too. In these areas, you just don’t see many conventional semi trailers. So much so that when you see one it doesn’t look right. During the wet season in the top end, many communities are cut off for months. It may be that this was the last truckload before the roads became impassable but the gamble didn’t quite pay off.Scary... how do you even get there with a rig like that? Looks like that one is home to paved roads mostly ...
