A great pic and description from Chris Nicholes:
1967 construction of Blowering Dam spillway. D9 Dozer fitted with a ‘pushin cushin’ designed for push loading of scrapers which were fitted with a push pad at the rear end .
The snowy plant operators often washed the dust down at the Royal Hotel, and unfairly nicknamed the barmaid push pad – she could never work out why.
