Truck Identification

Richard etc.

The Caloundra retriever was part of the Ken Hughes collection . The collection was moved south later on , so that example you mentioned is likely the same one . It was restored to a high standard as I remember ,but it may have suffered from bad storage over the years .

The ex Clemons Thornycroft Tarter is still in Tasmania as far as I know . It was featured in Wheels and Tracks many years ago .

My Morris Commercials have survived a nasty bush fire we had here last Wed and Thursday . The forest next door was ablaze , they had a dozer making fire breaks , many tankers came from over 100 miles away . Helicopter water bombers too . Exciting , yes , but very scary . The fire was only 500 meters from the house . Two tanker crews stayed all night with us to defend the house . It was easy to panic , but it all turned out OK. No houses lost .
