Great video, Chris. Thank you for posting it.

I was surprised to see the logs rolled using jacks rather than a Peavey or cant hook. Was that the standard method Down Under?

Also, I think this may be the only footage I've ever seen of a Class A Climax in operation, which is pretty neat. (I'm assuming of course the engines really were Climaxes and not some look-alike clones of Australian manufacture that I'm just too ignorant to recognize, which is a real possibility.)
