The business will also soon add training and certificates for excavators and bull-
dozers to its list of services available. “There is still a lot of interest and the interest from the mining industry is still high even though there is a supposed lull,� Mr Barnett said. “We are still getting a lot of enquiries of people wanting to get qualified for the chance to get to the mines. “We get a lot of work with local people looking to upgrade their farm vehicles and requiring licences with the grain harvest coming in.� With four qualified trainers, Regional Transport Training Services has the most comprehensive theoretical and practical training in the Riverland.

FIELD DAYS
Vintage World War II equipment display set to be popular
Cannon fodder
A NEW exhibit to the Riverland Field Days this year is the vintage World War II equipment display. As part of the display a cannon will also be fired, expected to attract a number of people to witness the event. The 25 pound cannon will make the trip from the Edinburgh Military Museum and be fired twice a day at 10.30am and 2.30pm.
Co-ordinator John Fisk said the 1942 gun tractor and gun from World War II will be fired during the Riverland Field Days. There will also be a rifle drill from the weapon used in both World Wars. Mr Fisk said the cannon travels all over Australia to various events to be showcased and is always popular. “We have to give peo-
ple plenty of warning,� he laughed. “It shoots out a flame which goes out about five metres but you don’t usually see that with the naked eye, cameras can catch it.� Mr Fisk said a military vehicle, ammunition tray and gun case will all be on display, while those firing the cannon will wear the uniform from the 1950s.
