Man in the Corner: Mega move
If you thought the morning commute was a slow trip across town, The Man in the Corner wants you to spare a thought for the convoy that rumbled through the Wimmera this week.
The 65-metre-long, 325-tonne “superload” made its slow and steady crawl through Horsham this week.
A 325-tonne transformer - the kind that powers things, not the kind that saves the world from Megatron - made its way from Corio to Horsham on Wednesday, on the first leg of its epic journey to Moomba in South Australia.
At 65 metres long and 4.2 metres wide, this superload was impossible to miss.
It crawled along the highway at a stately 60 kilometres an hour, trailed by a parade of pilot vehicles.
Some locals gathered at McPherson and Baillie Streets to watch it meander through the city; however, the first half of the trip finished around 1pm outside the saleyards.
Some early risers did catch the second leg, when the colossal convoy rolled through the intersection at 5am on Thursday.
