RAAF Truck
Was a slow start to the trip average 12 mile / hour. Had picked up by Mt isa to Camooweal to 31km/hr! Wet season heat and roads would have been quite bad.
When he was posted to Darwin heading into the Pacific Zone he was due to fly up from Townsville but was told ".....flight cancelled due to rough seas....." make sense of that.
Would love to identify the truck near the antbed as I would make it my next project and then drive the trip. After the war they flew him back to Darwin and told him he had to get a truck home to NSW via Alice Springs.
