Full title: Australia's Road Transport Heritage: A Story Honouring the Pioneering Past of Our Road Transport Industry: The Men, Women and Machines

There is no disputing that road transport plays a very significant role in the economic and social wellbeing of Australia. Indeed road transport has always been and always will be the vital link in the Australian economy.

Our first carriers, those that braved the harsh and unfamiliar Australian bush to provide services and suppliers to remote settlements and industries, are indeed the unsung heroes of Australia. In the early days of European pioneering, the arrival of transport, whether it be by camel or donkey teams, a cattle truck, or the long-awaited mail service, marked cause for celebration by those that lived in the isolated areas of Australia.
