Now this is a BIG Truck...

This is me standing in front of one of the e coal dump trucks used at the Leigh Creek Coal Fields in Leigh Creek in the Flinders Ranges. These things are gigantic... I though I was tall, but standing in front of this I look like a dwarf. I'm 6 foot tall and even the wheels tower over me.
To get to the cabin you need to climb up almost 18 feet of steps. These beasts are diesel electric jobs and they can carry a heap of coal. Anyhow, If this is your thing, we can even organise a tour of the coal mine as part of your personalized Flinders Ranges outback experience.
Cheers for now... For more check out the website...
Haydyn.
