This is a cartoon on a mishap at the Peak Downs Open Cut Coal Mine, west of Mackay, Queensland, back in the late 80's. REB Engineering shutdown on a Marion Dragline tub. Lowering the giant 3000 tonne machine from a height of about 12 feet the dragline brakes let go... Everybody took off... She landed with a thud and the boom (jib) was bouncing up and down... The boss, standing next to me, Ross Lambley said: "I suppose there will be a cartoon on this one." I said: "You betcha." I had it drawn by the next morning.
