Bob McMillan and Colin McMillan driving at tractor on Oneone Road, Hari Hari

About this image

DescriptionI laugh every time I look at this photo. OSH and Worksafe would have a field day working with this situation. This photo is of my Grandfather Bob McMillan and my father Colin McMillan driving at tractor on Oneone Road, Hari Hari, just crossing the bridge outside their home. I'm guessing it would be the mid forties after Dad's short stint at CBHS, working back on the farm.Date of Photo1940`sMap^[1]ContributorKelvin McMillan

Quite safe. He's stacked down into middle, and 'tied them in'. Under normal situations, it's without incident. We had rolling hills, and my brother Les was driving us 2 brothers. One evening, Les came around the top of the ridge, and we saw a lot had rolled into a dip. We were almost full, sadly. This lot would fill us up. Les stopped slightly downwards, so we wouldn't have to carry so far. All good, but getting level ground meant turning upwards. Oops. Us 2 brothers on the back were surfing bales.

Typical of the time

Kelvin, yes this is a great photo. Having spent the last 45 or so years in the UK and most of it in H&S (OHS) I know why Agriculture and Forestry are at the top of the fatalities stats. Some horrific incidents like the one of the toddler walking back to the farm-house hours after father got dragged into a shredding machine / unguarded PTOs etc. I am sure Colin drove at a sensible speed and the stack a sensible height so the risk assessment on this doesn't look too bad!! I had a copy of the photo and it is in Bob's story on the website. Good memories.
