Temora turns it on as trucks old and new roll into town

The annual Temora Truck Show in the Riverina area of New South Wales featured a healthy rollup of 71 vehicles, from restored heritage trucks through to those virtually straight off the showroom floor.

Held in conjunction with the local Agricultural and Pastoral Show, with generous support from businesses around the region, trophies and prizes were awarded to winners across a number of categories.

It was a successful trip up the Goldfields Way from Wagga for the team from Burkinshaws Transport, with their Kenworths taking out multiple categories including Working Truck of the Show (with their Kenworth T909) and Best Fleet.

Now in its third year, show organisers are looking forward to making the 2025 edition bigger and better.
