Old Film Footage Australian Transport

I am sure this went up a couple of years ago but I can not find it. Worth another look anyhow.

Thanks for the memories, Lang.
It was great to see footage of the pre-World War 2 Thornycrofts and Leylands. That is the best footage I have seen of Kurt Johannson's self steering four axle trailers, made from war surplus vehicles. I met Kurt and his Son at the Grand Opening of the Road Transport Hall of fame in Alice Springs, several years ago. I had not seen footage of "Toots" Holzheimer, arguably our best outback lady truck driver, before. Sadly, she was killed when a load she was removing from her truck fell on her.

It was good to see the Bedford SB bus and also the "Sausage" (Flxible Clipper) bus.

The footage from Bald Mountain was a bit hard to follow.

Here is another interesting one.

Thanks, Lang, you took me back a good few years with those films. Some of that ol' iron, looked like an ant tuggin a loaf of Wonder Bread, didn't have power enough to go nor brakes enough to stop, just amazing any of us lived to be old enough to drink legally.... The last OTR truck I drove had 600 horsepower in front of an 18 speed auto shift, all the comforts of home, had ta turn the radio down to hear the engine. Thought I'd died an gone to heaven.

Cheers, and thanks again,

Mark
