That is the reason why we ended up in Springsure: Coal! Everything in this area is driven by the coal industry. There are gigantic coal mines in this area of Queensland, every coalmine has a own railway line that is necessary to transports the coal to the harbors, every railway line needs access roads, if a access road gets flooded it needs a repair, for the repair you need some workers and the workers have to sleep somewhere. In this case the workers were sleeping in the caravan park that belongs to the roadhouse we were working in. Yeah and with those workers we got real close friends during our time in the roadhouse. And that is the reason why we visited them on their construction site and why a special bloke named Bob the grader driver showed us around. Thank you again for that!
A "small" truck.
One thing we have to explain: EPC stands for Earth working and Pet Care. ;-)
Jo together with "Pepper" Peter. Why "Pepper" Peter? He had every night for tea a medium rare rib fillet with pepper sauce and salad.
Jo with KG ähhh no with Nick.
Bob in his grader. Bob was a great guy that gave us two cartons of imported German beer from Rockhampton and that showed us around for a couple of hours on the construction site.
A nice piece of beef besides the construction site.
Can you bring such a "small" truck as a souvenier, please? Would be great for the daily trip to work - offroads if there's a traffic jam on the highway;-)
