From Jim Hawkes comes this rather forlorn but also rather fantastic Leyland Terrier patiently waiting her time to turn a wheel again. She looks relatively complete and full of character...thank goodness for pine trees. Here's what Jim had to say:
Seen just this month is this Leyland Terrier in northern Tasmania awaiting recognition and rescue. She was Unit Number 5 owned by Goliath Portland Cement Co Ltd of Railton (Tas) and was retired to the farm on which she now rests. She's not for sale as the farmer is happy to see her as part of his machinery graveyard around the farm. Tare weight was 9t on 6cwt.
Certainly one to keep an eye on although, given the price of getting a truck across Bass Strait on the ferry, she'll probably be a bit more attractive to a local enthusiast.
