Here are a couple more pics of that Robert Doig 141 on Middle-East work:
This Danish company clearly liked its Leylands!
The Adams Butter AEC was restored by John Holland and he rallied it reguarly, it had a box body on it when John owned it.

Hi DIG did not know you had a Coney problem in Australia, apparently some guy in the early 1800’s had 13 sent from England and look what happened, Buzzer

It’s a major, ongoing problem.

They did but only because their cabs were real crap. Series of fold thin metal that trapped moisture. We had the pinnacle of the 3C fitted with the Powertrain transmission and a replacement Leyland turbo engine. It also had lon loader arms and in part I still regret selling it some 19 years ago.

They kept a lot of people alive during the great recession.

I will pass on that one Buzzer I think possibly a eastern states truck maybe Brisbane Darwin SUD has a pretty big shoe box he may be able to help.I would say before Mushroom man arrived in Queensland…

Yes Dig, it was probably taken about twenty years or so before I headed Down Under, I took these two probably about the same time.
While looking through the photo shoe box, I did come across this picture that I downloaded from the local paper in 2003, after we had a bit of rain. I think that the company was N.Q.X. or North Queensland Express, I bet that S.D.U. can shed some light onto it.
These were all taken about ten years ago.
I liked the Greyhound bus rego.
These were all taken at Apple Tree Creek, I bet S.D.U. has passed this layby a few times.

And after I did, pretty sure I pre-dated Volvos there, but the picture is evocative. It reminds me of the breakfast several of us cooked up in just such country after a joint effort to right the 3rd trailer of my mate Kevin, after he had a moment and flipped it over. Some cows were liberated, some died, but he still had a few left to deliver to Katherine. It was also the time of my first Dingo sighting, I was last away and in my mirrors I saw them slinking out of the bush to see if there was any breakfast left.
2 comments on that lot. How the hell do you sheet those barrels safely? Happily I was never asked to do so.
And is that a wartime Scammell? And if so is that the reason for the strange roping job? Regular driver called up for the duration?

Here you are David the real deal ,her name is Lila she was at a rescue centre and had been adopted out 3 times but returned each time as untrainable and was to be put down when my Daughter and son in law took her and she is now after 3 years one of their family, she is very intelligent and won’t take any nonsense from our young dog Chewy but she is extremely intelligent loves to play games and is now trusted off the lead outside the home.
The Billy can suspended over the fire is something I have never done or any of the mates who I have shared a fire with, not saying its wrong just different to the way lots of us here in the west do it.
