22.01.2022 Today we thought we’d celebrate the life and work of gutsy, pioneer female Aussie truckie Toots Holzheimer - a tough hard-working woman who would’ve stamped out... gender-bias and sexism with her work boot! Toots was one of the first Australian women to take on - not only the job of truck driving, but also the incredibly difficult delivery run up into Cape York in her famous blue M.A.N. prime mover which is now parked-up in the Winton Diamantina Heritage Truck and Machinery Museum. The rugged, isolated dirt tracks this living legend travelled wound through tropical rainforest and often took weeks! Through sheer hard work Toots managed to keep her truck moving - always first to make it through to remote communities across the Cape after the wet season and the last to leave before the next big wet set in. Here was a woman with a heart of gold and a can-do attitude who I’m told, could swear with the best of them! In the 1960’s and 70’s there were no forklifts along Toot’s run, so she devised her own techniques to load and unload forty-four-gallon drums - believing if you took on a man’s job, you did all the work involved without complaining. All this was done against a backdrop of unbearable heat and humidity, across boggy dirt and sand tracks infested with sand-flies and mosquitoes, driving through countless flooded causeways during the wet season. Conditions were unimaginably tough. There was no air-conditioning and mobile phones were the stuff of science fiction. Incredibly, in these primitive conditions, Toots gave birth to one of her children, placing her new-born on the truck bunk while she continued and finished her run. In those days, tautliners were unheard of in Australia, so covering freight with massive tarpaulins before tying off with dozens of feet of rope was the way it was done. This is a task few truckies would attempt today. Those who knew and worked with this inspirational living legend talk about a staunchly independent, capable woman who more-often-than not, declined help from other's. Dressed in her trademark terry-towelling boob-tube dress which was usually tucked up into her undies, Toots single-handedly dug herself out of bog holes, changed tyres and crossed crocodile infested rivers as a matter of course. As much as some would have us gals think the job’s too physically demanding for women here’s a woman who categorically demonstrated it simply isn’t! Fast-forward half a century ..... long gone are Toot’s days of back-breaking work driving old bangers without air-conditioning and power steering. Today’s powerful prime-movers provide an almost luxurious ride, particularly the European trucks which have features Toots could never even have dreamed of! Hat’s off to this incredible trailblazer

17.01.2022 Hey all Need some Help, My stepson Simon was Tragically Killed yesterday at Monto in central QLD. He had his best mate (Merlin) in the car with him. It has b...een hard to get details , but Merlin has run from the crash seen at some point and has not been seen since. What I'm asking is that everyone that I know , If that you can copy and paste this photo and send to anyone that you know in the Cetral QLD area or any Trucking Companys that you know of in the Monto area and that travel the Burnett Hwy. Merlin went missing around 11.30am 16/9/19 from the intersection of Wuruma Dam Rd and Burnett Hwy. See more

14.01.2022 The celebration of our dads life will be held this Saturday 16th of November 2019 at the Scared Heart Catholic Church in Harrisville at 10am. We will then foll...ow him on his final journey to his resting place at Harrisville Cemetery. Please feel free to wear your cowboy hat or your favourite cap as he was never without one. He bled Maroon and White for the Fassifern Bombers and it’s only fitting that he rests in his footy shorts and Bombers t-shirt so please feel free to wear Maroon and White or your Bombers t-shirt in honour of the most wonderful man we have ever known. We are all richer for knowing him and only great love could hurt like this

12.01.2022 For all the guys wanting to Drive Trucks, take a close look before you sign up. Yes the wages are good Yes you can up your lifestyle with a nice home, cars and ...toys. Yes the financial rewards are tempting Yes it gets in your blood Yes you see the country Yes you get considerable time at home when you are at home Yes you miss Family and loved ones Yes Relationships will be strained and pushed to breaking point Yes you wish your life away when you are away Yes you lay awake at night sometimes wondering "why do I do this" and "Is this really worth it" SO ??? BEFORE YOU EMBARK ON A TRIP AND SIGN YOUR LIFE AWAY, REMEMBER; You may not make every party, BBQ, wedding or funeral You may not be home for Christmas or easter You may not be there for your children's birthdays You may not see your kids swim, ride a bike for the first time or be there to read stories at night You may not be there to take them to watch sports games You may not be there for presentation nights, school plays or parent/teacher interviews You may not be there to see them win medals at school sports days No you will not always be there during times of family crisis and feel helpless being so far away No you might not be there to bury a family member or close friend So, before anybody judges someone who has the guts and courage to work away to try and make a better life for themselves and those around them, DONT say "YOU'RE LUCKY'. These people sacrifice more than half of their life being away from loved ones to make their dreams comes true
