Having stopped over at the Caltex Roadhouse at Epping Forest, we recently caught up with Paul Douglas from Kempton when he also rolled in for a break.
Happy to be back home
Andrew Cowen from Bagdad in Tassie was driving a 2011 Freightliner Coronado for Worsley’s Transport and towing a B-double when he stopped for a chat.
A welcome change
Pagey was driving an RBA 2005 K104 and with Taz and 22-month-old Mackenzie, when he stopped for a chat with Big Rigs.
30 years on the road
Driving through Epping Forest recently, we stopped over at the Caltex for a break when our old mate Damien Viney from Ulverstone rolled in for the same reasons, driving a Chas Kelly’s recent 450 Volvo Euro 5 and towing a fridge pan.
Making life interesting
Passing through Kempton recently we caught up with Jack White, from Hobart.
Work diary inconsistencies and other snippets from the south
Monkey business
It appears that a recent photo of Mick’s monkey companion in Big Rigs has caught the eye of George, a friendly Gorilla who had pulled over for a cuppa at the BP at Murrundi in New South Wales where he is doing 2-up with Des in a white K-200. Rex is a well-travelled Gorilla having put in many kilometres in an “Eggs and Bacon” T-600 (remember Sean?) and later criss-crossing Queensland and NSW in seriously bigger and more interesting rigs, and he reckons taking to a life on the road was his smartest move ever.
Loving the freedom
It was great to catch up with Nigel Armstrong from Devonport again the other day, and under happier circumstances than last time we met, when he dropped in for a welcome cuppa at a local truck stop and roadhouse.
Keeping it interesting
“It’s a great job, and I have been here for three very good years now, and what more can I say,” said Jarrod Lamprey from Wynyard, on the north-west coast of Tassie.
A lifetime on the road
We were enjoying a drop of perfect Tasmanian Summer weather when we caught up with Neil Shires from Launceston at the Tassie Truckies Memorial Wall Inc.
All the bells and whistles
Passing through Epping Forest, we were fortunate to catch up with Tim Rigby from Launceston for a quick chat.
