WHEELS AT WANAKA MEMORIES
We bring you a pictorial memory from the phenomenal 2021 Wheels at Wanaka event – to keep the embers well and truly lit on the run-up to 2023!
After seeing the images of Doug Orringe’s early Kenworths being dragline-loaded in this month’s feature on page 58, we just had to grab a photo of Alister Macdonald working his 10RB dragline at this year’s Wheels at Wanaka. Driving draglines is 90% art and 10% science – ‘you’ve got it, or you don’t’. In the event you had a deck chair and refreshment to hand, you could have easily spent the whole day watching Alister swing and throw the bucket, doing his thing at the far end of the earthmovers’ play pit.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
