Default The Long Road North.

These photos were given to me by a friend whose father was with one of the many supplying food and gear to Darwin during WWII.

I do not know which of the many Army Transport Companies it is. Maybe some one can shed some light on which Co. it is.

The first photo is a Model T Ford and the rest all Internationals.

Regards Rick.
