Mick Lenton's Westerm Star 6900 triple roadtrain

We hitch a ride with Mick Lenton in his 6900 Western Star hauling three Freighter flat top trailers loaded with lick blocks for a cattle station north west of Julia Creek in north west Queensland.

I remember driving that road to Mt Isa in 1970 when it was mainly dirt! Gilliat Channels near Julia Ck was particularly bad in the wet. Macks seemed to be the most popular trucks at that time with a body + 2 the most popular comfiguration.

Yes, we remember those days only too well and being bogged in the black soil west of Richmond, Qld.
