Hi Jack.

Lionel, it was a transport company indigenous to Bundaberg and they had two 1960s Diamond Reos, I think. Their workshop is in Bundy North, backing onto the river upstream from the railway bridge. It was a while ago.

I've been working in Bundaberg for the last month and a half. I should go and have a look again.

Sam.

G'day Sam,

Good to see you posting again Sam.

Would that be Berajondo Earthmoving & Haulage? I drove past after office hours and it was shut up and it looked pretty unfriendly. Not a place where they seemed to invite passers by stopping to take a look at their stuff. In my slow drive-by I mostly saw their earthmoving side of things. It is a big yard though.

My REO Speed Wagon truck was made in 1935 - I would still like to see a pair of newer Diamond REOs though! Hopefully they are not razor blades now!

Kind Regards
Lionel
