Swishy...Tell me something I don't know...AFE still had the Deutz in the fleet even when they graduated from single drive S models to bogie drive S's .The workshops were still full of parts for the "whistling gypsies".They used them as a backup when needed.Still in service at the start of the 60s,then as yard trucks.Later replaced in the yard with ex ABT 1418s

Rusell Carriers depot is still in Ross Street Port Melb. Gilberts Transport depot when I lived there 30 years ago.

G'day, in the frirst road block pic there is a four axle semi-trailer. Anyone know the story behind that ?

G'day Tacho, I reckon that quad tipper belonged to Col Bird (RIP) behind his SAR.Col was one of the instigators of the original blockade.
