    1956 model, WA & in my last few days.
    I was there, & I remember. I remember all of it.
    Back in the mid/late 70s I had a White 9000, GM, I think it was a 471. Started with a Bedford J petrol at 14, carting wool bales.
    Slept in a swag under the trailer.
    My last was the KW T904 Cat C16 on 6 rod. Mostly pulling triple flat tops out to the mines, mostly East Pilbara, bit of other stuff.
    Thank you for this upload, I only stumbled on it by chance.
    What have the bastards done to our country?

    A fantastic glimps of history then
    A selection of gear was run back then, from all corners of the world as I guess it still is today
    Looks like the remains of a burnt out road train at one stage during the film, it's a bit hard to tell, with the scratchy film, but it's still a treasure of a film
    Thank you for sharing

      Paul Griffiths, you are correct that's the burnt remains of a Road Train. There's more film to come also so stay tuned.

      It had a Detroit Diesel in it too. It would be a real screamer.

      Some of those cab over M.A.N.s had a 10 speed column shift or "10 on the tree" as we would say.
