On this week's episode, we are back (Aaron and Myself) to talk more about Australia. Part one left us at the Komatsu dealership checking out some 475 Dozers at the dealer. This week's episode Aarons gets right into it with tales of some real slick machines doing some really impactful work. 

The journey starts in New South Wales, meeting up with the familiar faces of MC Earthmoving, working on a huge reservoir that will help farms get the water they need. Next Aaron visits the one and only Jimmy Starbuck in Brisbane to see how the business is done and learn about asbestos remediation and transportation. After that Aaron Visits the airport but not to get on a plane.

Fun fact concrete work for runways is like real-life legos. Finally, they wrap up with some bonus content at the coal mines outside of Victoria. Boring! It's only the world's Heaviest D11’s pushing heaps of material that will eventually power 25% of Victoria (trick!) The trip came to a close with Aaron getting some much needed R&R at the beach.  Thanks for listening!
