Looking back

Mid 1960s

This picture was taken in the mid-1960s. In the early 1970s the CAT fleet at Stevenson's Kopuku mine numbered almost 100 units. Most of the 30 earth-moving machines shown in the photo were purchased from the US in the late 50s / early 60s for prices ranging from $24,000 to $36,000. They were used for removing the overburden at Kopuku to expose the coal. Stevenson Resources still operate a DW21 Fleet No.351 at Drury Quarry as a water cart.
