It's 680-tonne, 7 stories high, and they made 10 specialist hydraulic trailers just to move it. It had 4 trucks pulling, 2 pushing.
My father built the first 2 floors :)

It's the 4th biggest thing to be transported, ever. In the world.

I went and watched it move last night. loving huge :D
Apparently it cost $250,000 per kilometre to move. And it's 6km from the engineering place to the port. So $1.5m total travelling cost 0.0

Is it filled with oil?  :cookieMonster:



The Saturn V is bigger >:D

I wish this happened near me.
