South Walker Creek Bench Failure

This was sent it by a reader, of a bench failure which occurred on the 29th. Looks fairly lucky. The boom looks like it got pretty close to the spoil.

Marion 8900 Dragline Recovery

Received these photos a few weeks ago from a reader. They show the recovery of a Marion 8900 dragline from a bench failure.

Compare this dragline recovery to Norwich Park's.

Another blast from the past. This must have happened extremely quickly, if the operators couldn't even move the dozer and ute out of the way.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope Santa didn't bring you any broken booms. Can any readers out there fill in some more information on when this occured?
