HCVC – Mack Muster

By Kevin Toovey

(Above & left) There were many trucks where you went, “Whoa, this is nice”. A good looking B model Mack was parked amongst much newer models including the Mack Superliner 50th year Southern Cross limited edition

Mack Muster a Huge Success

The Mack Muster was held at Quarry Farm on the 29th November to celebrate Mack Trucks 100th year in Australia. The idea was created by the Director of WA Limestone Steve Della Bona and the Director for CTS low loaders Jason Clatworthy who are not alone in enjoying Mack trucks.

There were many fine examples on the display to prove that point on the day and trucks of different makes were also invited - so it was not an exclusive event.

Funds raised were donated to the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research for Cancer and over 3000 people came through the gate to look at the 140 trucks - many of them wearing the mighty Bulldog on the bonnet.

Terry Bates and Kim Martin brought their vehicles for their maiden showing. Kim’s red Detroit powered Dodge looks good and sounds even better "Who's the Boss" White Road Boss

Sludge from Outback Truckers was there with the Fantom. He lined up and had his photograph taken and there was merchandise for sale for the fans of the show. The Peterbilt prime mover looks just as good from the back
