The penultimate phase in the construction of a temporary taxiway onto runway 11/29 RAAF Darwin. Truck driven by LAC Bob Nicholson and paver operated by Corporal Widdowson. The final phase would be performed by the heavy roller.

A twenty minute DVD of 5ACS taken by the RAAF film team showing most facets of the Darwin airstrip construction including a short piece on Darwin River Quarry is now available from the NAA [National Archives of Australia] for about $25. If you would like to try before you buy I think you can arrange a viewing at any of the NAA buildings around Australia.
The series number is C5423 and the control symbol is 1407413.
