Cameron McFadyen, Biglorryblog's man at South East Queensland Tilt Tray says: "Hi Brian, we went up to Gatton (about 90k`s from Brisbane) today for the opening of the new Transport Museum and Cultural Centre. Gatton is the home of 'Lights on the Hill' a memorial for people in the transport industry that have died whist doing their job. There has been a lot of Government money spent there."

"Bill Baskett was there, he was rounding up a bit of info on our trucks for a bit of commentary, but by the time the pollies got through with their speechs I don`t think he was asked. Anyway, the main thing, there was a good roll up of old gear there, so as they say on TV, wait there`s more." And you can find it by clicking through here....

Big Mack to go....
Those R model Internationals are a real classic truck, they were very common here as loggers, heavy haulage tractors etc and did a fine job for many years.
I didn't drive that little white Inter, Brian, but in 1957 I did get my "artic" licence in a Ford/Fordson/Thames with a side-valve V8 engine like the one behind it in the line up.
The "some sort of Pommie sports car" is an Austin A90 Atlantic, which was definitely not a sports car; it handled and cornered dreadfully! The engine was OK, a 2.6 litre 4-cylinder which was also used in the Austin-Healey 100 (a proper sports car) and in some models of the Austin Champ 4WD.
The estate car on the back is a Peugeot 403, known as the "indestructible". The older Peugeots - 203, 403, 404 - were very popular in Oz, NZ and South Africa.
