Now the truck is going down Tory Street – we have a police escort to get across State Highway 1
It’s a convoy – the star of the exhibition of course is first, followed by the little forklift and the other truck.

It’s slightly downhill from the top of Tory down to Cable but as there was a last-minute decision by the conservator to extract most of the remaining liquid this made the move a bit easier - sloshing inside the tank had been a concern.
Last stop – Te Papa… phew!
