This is dredger number 21 at Power Works in Morwell back in 2016, with a Zoe for scale.
This was the first bucket wheel excavator to be used at the Morwell open cut. No 21 Dredger worked between October 1955 and August 1992, and was used to excavate overburden and to supply brown coal to the Yallourn power station. No. 21 Dredger is significant as an example of the first generation of German built Bucket Wheel Excavators used by the SECV. The design originated in German brown coal mines in the mid-1930s. No. 21 Dredger was one of the earliest uses of German continuous mining techniques and technology to be applied outside of Germany.
