Paul and Paul I do not know what days or hours they are regularly open?? The big Reunion show only happens every 5 years, so start saving your pennies!! Possibly ATHS will have another tour??? I also have 3 more topics to start: Misc trucks at Alice and the 4 private collections in Melbourne which will be on Odds and Ends Other Trucks. And Tony Champion's collection which I will put in the Antique Mack section. SO STAY TUNED Brocky

Job 41 Thanks for all the great info.. As Red Horse said it is all history.. Know where the Town of Maine is.. Grew up outside Ithaca on Town of Caroline Brockways thus my interest in plow trucks. Would love to have one down here to scare the S##t out of these rebels who think a dusting is a total blizzard!!!

They also have a Railroad museum, that I did not take pictures of, and some tractors and construction equipment around.

Then they have a big bone yard

And some more. The Australian Kenworth Dealers Assn also has a big building with about 15 KW's in it that I did not take pictures of. This is the very first "Road Train", a Diamond T 981 converted to civilian use with home made trailers, and yes that pile of drums is on the third trailer.

Here are some pictures of the Australian Truckie's Hall of Fame in Alice Springs museum facility and trucks. Alice Springs is out in the middle of the Outback, about the same as our Des Moines IA, except the climate is very dry like our Arizona

Macks Down Under
Brocky replied to Brocky's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Vlad The Reunion part of the Museum is a Show that takes place every 5 years, next one in 2020, start saving your rubles.. They do have a lot of "Boneyard" stuff stored outside as their climate is very dry like our Arizona. When I get a chance I will post some pictures from the museum itself and some of the other trucks in the Odds and Ends section.

Job 41 That looks like it could have originally been a western NY plow truck??? Erie, Chataqua, and Catarogus(sp) counties speced a lot of Acar's heavy like that..

Spent one day at Tony Champions dealership and private collection in Townsville. Will post pictures later. and 3 days in Melbourne where we did 4 private collections on Sunday.

Randy I just checked the atlas.. Rob is in Tonasket on US 97, north east of this area by an airline of about 25 miles. Hopefully he is still all right.. Our prayers are with the familys of the fallen fire fighters as well as the whole region. Brocky

Trump says he'd deport illegal immigrants as U.S. president
Brocky replied to kscarbel2's topic in Odds and Ends
Tighten up the welfare laws, and the laws of supply and demand will force the lazy legal Americans to fill the jobs.. Might have to raise the labor rate a little, which is inflationary, but they will work or starve..
