Was in her Nov.59-Dec.59--Strahan run with copper pyrites to Yarraville. One trip Port Augusta--Strahan with Earth Moving Equipment for building the new airport at Strahan. She had a big forward hatch that facilitated the loading of large/awkward cargo. Captain Jim West was Master--later Sydney Pilot
