Here is another from my regular contributor Jeff Bounds.
It shows a line of vehicles at Appleton Dock (Melbourne Vic.). The main vehicle-import dock is Webb Dock (also export of Toyotas); Appleton Dock is auxiliary space.

The buses are easy:
Scania chassis Irizar bodies. I am not sure from which of the Irizar's ~nine plants they come: Spain, Brazil or possibly Mexico.
See www.greyhoundcommercial.com/bus/coach/scania-iriza.htm
The trucks and machinery I can't recognise: that will be up to the knowledgeable people on this group.

Trevor's call looks right. Part of that site:
Freightliner is a key unit in Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific

Or signwriters, either >:(

Pretty sad indictment of our Manufacturing industry,
When It's more viable (I Guess) to import fully built up coachs, right down to the signwriting :-/ :-/

Funny you mention that Chocs, I just looked up some images and they seem to face either way. Another thing, the amber beacons on the roof, maybe headed for a mine or similar?
