Southbound's Pix

Used to be an old truck wrecker at Laurel Hill , between Batlow and Tumbarumba,  he had heaps of ex timber yard  Blitz trucks , one of them had a Straight 8 engine conversion. He had a Alsatian dog and you had to be careful , sometimes he was  grumpy - other times he was friendly.  He had one of the rare  air transportable GMC 6x6 trucks , the chassis was split into two halves so it could be loaded in a DC3. He was telling me, after the war,  he used to buy Blitz trucks from a surplus dealer in Sydney and sell them to the timber mills .  I thiink he was also a auto electrician. He told me there were a few ex army Guy 4x4 gun  tractors working in the area afterthe war. .  He chucked me out once , he got old and senile. 

Hume highway Yass 1986.
First time doing interstate (northbound) and I can still remember a bl00dy steep hill with lights at the bottom, could be here? So glad it's been bypassed. 

 

I don’t think that’s Yass.

Sign on the Golden Fleece service station says Yass

Hi,

I can't say I can see Yass on the Golden Fleece sign but here is a more recent image from www.aussietowns.com.au/town/yass-nsw taken from slightly further down the hill.

The Word YASS is directly under the R at the rear of the sheeps arse.

Or you will find the word YASS on the vertical post of the sign or below sheep's arse
