Richard, I don't really recall - but i don't think so. The Road Transport Hall of Fame has done such a great job in ensuring the outback transport pioneers have found their place in history, but I think in 1995 on the opening night, their wonderful work was only just taking off. Of course this was some time before the restoration of the Leyland Badger doco (Keith!) and the reinvigoration and rediscovery (for the great unwashed) of the original film... In 1995, except for those in the know, Tom and Kurt were almost forgotten - hats off to everyone who made sure that we remember them now in 2011... I'm going to talk to the Australian's obituary writer Graeme Leech tomorrow - keep a lookout...
