Early survey and construction work was done by Govt.then tenders called for, which was won by Thiess Bros as they had the most engineering plant available,(Dozers,Graders,Rollers,Cement Batching Equipt),they had gone around the Pacific Islands just after WW11 and collected all the Engineering and SeeBee's machinery left when the US forces returned home after the war, as US forces just walked off leaving vehicles and aircraft as well as machinery behind, Australia dumped Millions of $ worth of stuff after the war,"Lend Lease" if you kept it you had to buy it, or destroy/dump it.
I am aware of several thousands of tons dumped off Morteon Island in Qld over the continental shelf,and several dozen RAF L/Lease aircraft dumped at sea, my father spent from 1945 until he de-mobbed in 47 collecting stuff from New Guinea and dumping it at sea,returning to Brisbane,the ship reloading and doing the same on the way back to PNG, he would tell me as a kid,"out of the hold and over the side" trucks loaded with stores, kit huts,anything and everything.

Thanks Pedro, .. a great little film, and not a curvaceous model in sight.
Little Landy certainly excelled in that environment....now , what can you dig up re my belief about Thiess Bros using tojos on S.M.A .project...or am i alone in this?
