"Hey Brian," says Gary 'Hopalong' Richards Biglorryblog's man at Mack and Volvo downunder..."I have a mystery for you, and/or the BLB Army of sleuths to unravel....!!! As you see in the above picture someone has gift wrapped (well shrink-wrapped) what may be a truck... but why..?? Is it a big present for someone special, ???"
And while we're 'wrapping' I'll see yours Gazza and raise you one from Biglorryblog--this is BUBBLE-wrapped! And for a pie can you guess what it is? (now click through here to see what's underneath Gary's wrapper...
And here it is. GR says: "The truth is far from this...it is a very purpose-built Mack Metro-liner fuel tanker - to be used for on site construction work by Entech - A West Australian civil contractor. They have been awarded the site development work for the Gorgan gas project on Barrow Island (which is 70kms offshore)"
H econtinues: "As you can see, it is no ordinary tanker - being very well equipped, with an array of safety gear and specced to keep the Entech construction fleet fully fuelled. Barrow Island is an environmentally-sensitive area which means that the Mack has to be fully sanitised for transport - hence the protective cover once this thorough cleaning has occurred. So not only is the Mack and the cleaning process impressive, the Gorgan gas project is considered one of the most significant energy development in Oz's history. To appreciate the size of the gas project, best have a look at the following link...www.chevronaustralia.com/ourbusinesses/gorgon
