I was on the Gateway bridge job. We ran barges into the middle of Brisbane river with 3 concrete trucks at a time. 2 barges and I barge with a concrete pump ,to pour the foundations. Continuous pour. I also worked on the lake Manchester dam dam wall. That was dangerous.
That is a great question! Thank you for asking. Sound can be interrupted or missing completely from film due to degradation or magnetization prior to reaching the archives. There are times when the films we receive are missing separate sound discs (records) and tapes completely. While its unfortunate this film is missing sound in a section, we are grateful to have sound at all! We hope that answers your question.
@@QueenslandStateArchives It's a shame because the sound literally drops out at a critical moment when discussing the logistic efforts for military operations during the Pacific War!
Another great question! Legal responsibility for roads in the Territories is borne by the Australian Government while in the States it is shared between the State road authorities, local governments and, in some cases other authorities established by the State Governments.

I think it is fine. Had some idiot decide to turn right next to a bidge and guard rail north of innisfail, which stopped everyone. That is just a retard not giving a shit
*Just once in my life before I die, I would like to drive from Tweed to Brisbane without having to deal with roadworks* - Just to feel what it's like!
I moved because of that and the endless construction of new buildings. It's ok for a holiday
Nice to see old videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Fasinating. Thank you for posting all these old archive videos.

@@QueenslandStateArchives Lost audio: is it the case the scripts also have been lost for re-voicing?

What’s the bet these old timers could out build us road builders today . Took 15 years to build Gympie bypass.
Hard to believe that Bullock and horses provided the labour for the first roads.
14:00 why did qld make roads for Northern Territory?.
Another great question!

I learnt that USA during WW2 shipped in equipment for road building in the outback, didn't know mining equipment ws used
If you look carefully around Moorooka,Rocklea,Salisbury and Archerfield the evidence of US bases still stands .
50 years later still the same problems
Bruce Highway is still crap
