For those interested in other big boys toys, SBS in Australia have a show on at the moment about the Ghan railway. Hopefully the Facebook stream stays live after the show finishes...

Nice one Flint. Love the urgency about the commentary. 
And that was just the Land Rovers…

I had that exact thought Clive. I then found it sad that we had lost our way and others have overtaken us.
Indeed, would that be the dear fellow who had all that financial interest in building roads by any chance?

I’ve just spent a happy hour browsing the interweb for old semi truck pics, it was terrible, but it had to be done, Flint.
None the wiser, but heaps happier
What a great photo BTW
Interesting photo. Interesting vehicle. They weren't too worried about not having tread on the rear tyres were they.
1923 Marmon-Herrington ??
That's very close Clive but not the same. However it almost looks like that is from the same era, even the same photographer perhaps. Good find.
That one looks very much like the old Scammells from the front.
