One of my brothers worked for Fergusons back then. I remember that truck well. Kevin O'Regan was with them and very much to the fore front following the Inangahua earth. He went to them following a stint at Langridges, and has been a machine operator and driver all his life. Now in PNG.

My late father Len Skilton also loaded a lot of rock out of that quarry when he did a stint for Ferguson's as well.
Gary Keown
most of that rock used for hoki river protection along Gibson quay to the river mouth remember. When I was young watching Ferguson trucks tipping off and seeing rock ending up in river

They dumped thousands of tonnes of rock on our back boundary, those poor trucks bellowing as they struggled with their mighty loads of sometimes massive rock. I always wondered how the managed to load them.
