Smith's for service! Biglorryblog goes on the waggon...but just for a swift half...

What were we saying about Aussie road transport founded on Pommie trucks? As if to prove it Andrew Blacklock has sent me this photo and says:"On May 16 & 17th this year we held our 2nd Vintage Truck Muster at the Richmond Vale Railway Museum, near Kurri Kurri NSW.
The trucks in the photo are all ex-Smith's Transport vehicles (Smith's Transport from Abermain NSW) They were all purchased as brand new vehicles by Smith's and the Scammell Routeman and Leyland Reiver were retired from daily beer haulage duties about two years ago. The Albion Chieftain and AEC Monarch were retired from (beer) haulage about ten years ago.The vehicles are now owned by members of the Hunter Valley Classic Commercial Vehicle Club. Thanks Andrew Secretary HVCCVC." Well fair dinkum as you say over there and click throgh here for a couple of close-ups..
