Australia then and now

And that is the “art” of it. I’m no artic/ semi-trailer expert, let alone B-doubles and all the rest of it. Getting multi-axle heavy rigids into very tight spaces has been my bread-and-butter for ages and although that doesn’t make great videos, it’s all in the planning. You turn up, you size things up, you have a bit of a think and come up with a plan, a scheme. I used to do removals in and around London in a big DAF and if that taught me anything, it was “use all the space you can find”

There’s never enough room for Yank drivers. They can’t resist driving in the mud.

This comes to mind.

This might jog a few memories, but I’m more interested in the big Berliet, did Berliet had a big presence in Australia?

I’ve only ever seen one, possibly that one, but it was light blue when I saw it.

That sort of answers my question SDU, must have been quite a rare sight then?

@pv83 apparently I’m not very observant, I should’ve noticed them on every second corner.
