STV8 archive News footage from 1971 presents a couple of stories set near the Mildura Bridge. In the first story, traffic is held up a while as new planks are installed in the bridge approach. Then a little further down stream, a local boat maker gets into trouble when the low-loader delivering a new house boat for launching becomes bogged. We’ll leave the pictures to tell the story of the ingenious methods used to distract the trailer.
