Transport Thursday: A milk tanker

This is how milk is transported from the farms to the dairy factory. A very common site through town, as cows here are milked twice a day, you normally see these early in the morning, and late afternoon as they do their pick ups.

Transport Thursday: A school bus

Children come from far and wide around the district to attend school. This is a typical school bus seen around here.

Transport Thursday - It's camper season

This camper van was spotted in the main street. There are a number of different companies that are around, this one is from the "Escape" company.

Transport Thursday - An oldie

Spotted this old crane down by the lake, it certainly hasn't been anywhere in quite some time.

Transport Thursday - how the cars get moved around

Transport Thursday - a great way to travel

Taken at Lake Waihola. A lot of jet skiers were out during the fantastic weather we had over the weekend. Hopefully marking the start of summer.

Have forklift, will travel

A truck I was following the other day, a novel way to carry around your own unloading device.

Transport Thursday

I have decided to start a wee theme on some days, just to make my photos a bit more interesting, and make it more exciting taking some photos.
Since I live on a busy main highway through NZ, I see so many different type of transport, trucks, cars, vans, campers etc. So what better thing to do than photograph all the different and interesting forms of transport and the cargo they are carrying.

Here we have the trailer truck. This truck is transporting a load of brand new boat trailers to their new homes.
