Was hosted by Ian Rodger at the Allenby Park Lodge, Papatoetoe on 5 Feb 04.
The presentation was not only informative but with Bryan Bartley?s added comments it provided a rare and fascinating insight into the Barmac story. Thank you Bryan
The Barmac is now being used in the remotest of locations from Kazakhstan, former USSR, to inside the Artic circle in Northern Sweden. Both these locations being in the extreme cold, crushing Iron Ore to the other end of the temperature scale to the desert in Chile.
Thank you again Ian, very interesting indeed and a fitting tribute to Jim Macdonald.
