LVT 4 in Australia 1973

[Bruce_in_Oz]

Back in the '70s, there was a requirement for a new bridge near where I lived.

An LVT-4 was used to conduct the soil/bedrock survey before a new bridge was built alongside the original.

I was still at high school at the time; living not far from the northern end of the bridge.

With my trusty "Instamatic" in hand, I got a ride with my sister to watch the beast "do its thing". Then it drove up onto the beach at the Brighton (southern) end.

I managed to get permission from the operator to climb aboard and get some photos.

Here they are.
