The Kangaroo Trail.

Not Kangaroo tail soup. The Kangaroo Trail was a long-distance torture track winding through the dry Australian outback.

For around 12 months, the U.S. Army ran convoys of GMC CCKW trucks from Mt. Isa in Queensland up to the N.T.

Some of the maintenance issues: the trailer coupling lunette shafts were breaking . And, broken spring leaves on the trucks.
