It was great to catch up with Henry McMurray from Keith in South Australia the other day when he pulled over for a quick refreshment break near Tailem Bend in South Australia.
Our eye was instantly caught by his Brecon Transport 2009 T608 and he was towing a nicely detailed tri-axle drop deck trailer at the time.
He told us he was on his way to Murray Bridge for a load of lucerne hay, and then would be taking it back to the dairy and then home.
Henry told us he had started life out as a diesel mechanic, did some farm work and odds and ends and had been driving for some time before coming to work for Brecon’s.
This, he added, was their only truck but they have always kept the maintenance up on it and all their gear.
“I couldn’t have found a better boss or outfit to work for,” he said.
Subsequently Henry took his wife and family abroad, but on his return, there had been a shift in the company’s direction meaning that his job would be more focussed now on the broadacre and livestock side of the operation.
He said he had loved the truck and the driving itself and getting out on the open road, and he would miss it, but he was looking ahead to a new chapter.
