If you are talking about this truck it is not a roll over just a truck shaken to bits on what was then the North/South Military Highway (now the Stuart Highway) although this one does look as if it ended up on it's side and being recovered. Trucks in the early days could start off from Alice Springs as brand new and arrive in Darwin looking the same as that in the photo as the road was that bad.  This truck is a GMC by the way and not a Chev. If people want a good read about the early convoys on the North/South Military Highway then the book to get is "Convoys Up The Track" by Alan Smith who was with 148 General Transport Company.
