There is no youtube clips of this trip . Was in 1971, I think and involved a 108 LWB and a 108 flat tray. Polystyrene pontoons encased in weldmesh were used to cross major rivers. Goodyear Terrra tyres were also utilised.

You should have asked Arthur & Toots Holzheimer, Peninsula Transport, how they got up there on a regular service using Leyland Hippos. Toots in a floral dress and big blucher boots.

It is, but don't apologise Bob, the more folk that see it the better, IMO.
