[SEL] Steam Shovel on the history ch

[Mark Kennedy]

Although of a different order of magnitude, another surviving steam 
shovel that is regularly operated for the public twice a year resides 
at Lake Goldsmith Steam Park in country Victoria, Australia.

It is Australia's largest, (90 tons) fully operational steam shovel 
and the remaining one of a pair imported from England in the 1920s 
(?) by Portland Cement to work at their Geelong quarries.

It is a great crowd pleaser.

Regards,

Mark
