We received the Highway Replicas model from Tufftrucks Scale Models of our Mack Value-Liner we bought new in 1987 that we contracted to Ansett with. We think they did a pretty good job trying to match it! Even the number plate is very similar.

There's a few small differences we can find... can you spot them?

We headed down to Toowoomba City Bowls Club today for Corporate Bowls and had a great day.

The Kelly Transport team won both of our games and finished second overall. Well done to Toowoomba Truck Spares for taking out the win.

Special mention to Keith Kelly – retired but clearly taking bowls seriously. His crew were in their bright yellow Kelly Transport shirts and could easily have been mistaken for the Australian team… all they were missing was the TV crew.

With Kell and Harry on the team and the sun out, it was a dangerous day to be a beer.

Great fun all round.

Big congrats to Baden — officially upgraded to his semi licence with Toowoomba Truck Training . Mitch has thrown him the keys of one of our Kenworth T610s which he's already got shining, and he's off to North Queensland this week.

He’s a natural, and we’re proud to see him take this next step in his career.

Now all we’ve got to do is stop him wearing those tracksuit pants… just joking.

Stay safe out there, Baden.

Baden from Kelly Transport Toowoomba stepped up today to go from MR B condition straight up to HC non-synchro! 💪🏼💪🏼

Another walk in the park for me! He's obviously been trained up well! The only thing we had to do was start double clutching which didn't take long to get under control at all! 🚛💨💨💨

Congrats Baden enjoy that freedom out on the Pacific tomorrow night! 👍🏼👍🏼
