Nice one Johnny ! The Mack is Chris Millers old one,that has recently been imported back from abroad.
I think it came back from Africa and the truck was known as Bonzo Bear which is written above the
windscreen !
Here it is in its original colours.

An unusual trailer (including the colour0
I would imagine that one is used around the Great Lakes as they have some serious weight limits there
with loads of multi axle trucks. I imagine Chris Arbon may know more about them.

Hi Dean and Johnny, pretty sure it is an asphalt trailer, posted a vid way back of one feeding a road laying machine.

Found might even be the same truck or company youtube.com/watch?v=QTg3ZbJ413w
Heres an old timer called a Hayes that worked out of Broome in West Oz.It had a tilt cab but the sleeper was a fixed mount so it was a problem when 2 drivers and changing over on the move but it was done.
Note second drivers bed strapped to the roof if they arrived at the yards the night before loading.
Cheers Dig

That takes me back to when I first started posting on here DIG and wrote to a few people, including some in OZ one of which was Philip Schubert, that cattle station is at Louisa Downs and if I remember correctly was owned by his dad, it has been mentioned that the owner of the Hayes may have been Newt Livingstone from Broome, this was taken August 1968 have posted it before but here it is again with Philip’s quote.

Road Train loading Cattle at Louisa Downs - August 1968
Road train Number Two.
When crossing the low level crossing at Fitzroy Crossing on the way to Derby, the driver “missed a gear.”
The road train rolled back down into the river bed partially jack knifing with one tailer falling onto its side. The cattle of course escaped, and a number had to be put down due to injuries.
Thank you very much Oily it did indeed belong to Newt Livingstone of 3LLLs transport Broome,the 3LLLS stands for Leyland Livingstone and Lucas[Newts partner] and they first started with a Leyland Buffalo.
I thought the yards were Chestnut yds on Christmas Creek but now you have said Louisa I know your right,the station had changed hands by the time I went there in 72 so I never met the people mentioned.
The old Fitzroy low level crossing was an accident waiting to happen if you didn’t have pace you couldn’t get up the cutting on the town side we called it “Flying the Fitzroy” and it finally did in 1973 when a Northern territory truck rolled on top of a tourist vehicle and the tourist was killed,the driver of the truck was acquitted as the tourist was parked on the crossing taking photos and the truck driver had tried to put the truck into the river to miss them.Work on a proper bridge started the following year.
I have sent a copy of this photo to one of the drivers of the Hayes who I met and became firm friends with in 1972when i persuaded him to come and work for us.
I took a print off a movie clip I made its not the best but gives you an idea what it was like of the old crossing when I was up that way a couple of years ago its from the top of the cutting on the Fitzroy town side of the river and it would have been the side he rolled back on as the trucks were always loaded heading west.

Hi DIG, this Albion lowloader was bought new in 1951 by Les Schubert, Philips dad.
To quote "Dad used this loader to transport the surplus Boilers from Collie synthetic petrol plant at the end of the war to the new Cheynes Beach Wahling Station in Albany.
It was a very difficult task, and the truck was followed by another with a bulldozer on board which was off loaded to help the semi up some of the steeper and sandier hills out on the way out to the station through the now Tondirup National Park."
You may be familiar with the place names, he had other Albions which I will post on Past and Present.

Johnny I reckon you would have more trouble getting that around a roundabout than I would with a triple, is the rear jinker steerable and that must be better than 50 metres .
A triples max length is 56.5 metrescheers Dig
That’s Patrick’s speciality. He is an expert with them, just too humble to admit it [emoji4]

Aye, that was me in that pic DIG, hate to “brag” about it, if you know what I mean… If I remember correctly these blades were 40m long, making the total combo a 45ish meters long, all three axles are steerable from the cab or by remote control.
If you’re interested, here’s a link to what I’ve done so far mixed with some footage from the “good ol’ days” viewtopic.php?f=35&t=117467My apologies Patrick and John for the mix up I can only blame a serious dose of old age syndrome.
Interesting the steering controls in the cab that would take some serious judgement I reckon being 40 odd metres from the action so I don’t think you would have a problem with 3 trailers they track along pretty good it dosent mean much of an allowance for turning.
Great pics you bloke keep coming up with.Cheers Dig
It’s a bit more easy DIG, there’s a pilot at the back end, telling me to steer the axles in what position, it’s only with the less longer loads you have to do it yourself… bit of experience and common sense does the job

Who knows more about this trailer? Looks like the axles are removable or shiftable…?Now then Patrick,
You should pay more attention as I have already put pictures of this company on TN and another site! and even told you what axles were under these home made trailers, have I got to get the headmaster involved? You have 2 days to get yourself sorted before his internet is back up and running!Just been on the blower and the Head has put a Mr Sutherland in charge of you whilst his internet is being sorted,meanwhile here are 2 pictures to jog your memory…must be those birds in that office you’re getting mixed up with these Birds!!
Well Mr Smith, please let me explain, I did reckon it looked quite similar, wasn’t too sure though, but thanks to your fine and subtle explanation I’m sure.
And those lassies in the office…er… well…ahum…no comment
