The landscape around Australia's Opal Fields is filled with truck mounted blowers like the one pictured above. The machine, a giant vacuum cleaner that sucks dirt from up to 30 meters underground and dumps it on the surface, was designed in the 1970's and continues to be used today .

That is definitely a different and interesting machine. It is amazing all the different ways man comes up with to mine the earth.
ReplyDeleteHi Maya, cool photo and choice for this week's theme. It's a unique looking design and I would never guess it sucks dirt, it almost looks like a garbage can emptier.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week....
