Aussie tribute truck - well done!

I got sent this by a cousin of mine. Don't know anything else about the truck other than it's a fine effort. Can't make out the number plate on the first pic so don't even know where in Oz she is!

 

Kitty (and the rest of us) will like the right-hand side of the trailer.

 

Just been checking on the names Andy:

Edward Smout enlisted in 1916 in the Australian Army Medical Corps, serving at Armentieres and later at Messines and Ypres in Belgium. Between March and April 1918 he served on the Amiens front and during the advance to Peronne and the Hindenburg line. Discharged in 1919, he rose to reach a top executive position in the Australian Prudential Insurance Company and contributed to numerous charities.

Jack Lockett was 25 when he left the farm in March 1916 and joined the AIF. Rising to the rank of sergeant, he fought in the battles of Marrett Wood, Dernancourt, Morlancourt, Proyart, Bray, Suzanne, Vaux and Clary. After discharge, he returned to farming and eventually owned his own property.

Eric Abraham, born in 1898, left the post office and joined the AIF in November 1915 and found himself in November that year with the 5th Division Signals Company as a sapper. He fought in the battles of Villers-Bretonneux, Morlancourt and Amiens and the advance to Peronne. On being discharged he returned to the post office and, after a career in the Public Service, retired as executive officer of the Commonwealth Department of Health.

Beat me to it!

 

Sorry mate, was bored

 

Looks magnificent.

Is that an error where the poppy is situated behind the Drivers cabin.

ATT CALL?

 

He's got the same thing on his mudflaps under the bumper, Geoff, so must be his business? Well spotted, might be able to track him down that way!

 

You were spot on!

FWD:
G'day Col, my name is Bill Anderson - i had the truck designed and built through Kenworth for my customer (Attcall Plant HIre) based in Narellan. The customers name is Clint Mckinnon. The T904 Kenworth is in high demand for Anzac Day, and it will be either in the Campbelltown March or the one at Merrylands.

hope this helps.

I may just have to do a story on that truck and its owner!

 

It'd be great to get some background to it.

 

Just saw the mudflaps on the back of the truck and trailer. Detail!

 

This is a gardeners website.

Found this wonderful photo as well on McNAUGHTS COMET from an Aussie beach.

Just north of where I live...about 20 minutes drive to be exact. At the time, Australia Day this year (Jan 26), we were about six hours north in Kalbarri looking out to sea as the comet passed over.
