Built by the community for the community
From hidden gem to a shining star My first visit to the ‘old’ Shepparton Motor Museum left me wanting more. I was surprised we had this hidden gem in our backyard I had previously known little about While I would not call myself a ‘car person’ in the true sense, I have always had an appreciation of cars and a casual coffee with Jim Andreadis enlightened me to the history of the museum and its potential for the region. Jim’s passion and enthusiasm was undeniable and infectious. By the end of that meeting, I had become the new finance director of MOVE. The next three years at MOVE were an experience to say the least.
The Museum of Vehicle Evolution has many facets but one common thread — a desire to create something positive for the Goulburn Valley.

Jim Andreadis has been the driving force behind this project, but the idea had been around for a generation. Jim’s generosity extends well beyond his philanthropic support; his vigour and enthusiasm has inspired others to become involved and has expanded MOVE beyond our wildest dreams. Substantial financial support from the Federal Government, Victorian Government and Greater Shepparton City Council has been critical, allowing us to develop a world-class museum that will play a crucial role in expanding our visitor economy and economic base.
Throughout the entire process our resolve to finish what we started and do something great for Shepparton remained the driving force.

Loel Thomson’s Clothing Collection is a marvel, collected over four decades and containing 10,000 items. It is a significant attraction in its own right.
My goal is to ensure the viability and sustainability of the organisation now and well into the future, all while remembering and upholding the legacy of those that have been so pivotal to MOVE in the past.

MOVE is not mine or yours, it belongs to the community. It’s for us, our children, our visitors and our friends. It’s an opportunity for us now and in the future to pay homage to Shepparton and its unique place in Australian history. Frank Papallo MOVE chair
The Shepparton News is grateful to the MOVE Board and Management for the opportunity to develop and distribute this celebration of MOVE. The establishment and operation of MOVE, and access to the extraordinary contents of the museum’s various collections will benefit Shepparton and the wider community for decades to come. Congratulations to all those who have played their part, we hope you enjoy reading about the evolution of Move within these pages.
MOVE is really about us, showcasing the things we drove, wore or used. It is full of interesting objects — some shiny, some rustic and some just rusty. It is also full of people and their stories, particularly the families who built our region’s reputation as a transport and trucking mecca.
MOVE is a not-for-profit charitable enterprise, and we could not have achieved what we have without the generosity of our board members past and present, our staff, volunteers and sponsors. We hope you will visit often, discover new displays and tell your friends and family when next in Shepparton they must experience MOVE. Peter Hill MOVE executive officer

MOVE – Museum of Vehicle Evolution
Full speed ahead for MOVE IT’S BIG. SO BIG YOU COULD DRIVE A TRUCK THROUGH IT. In fact, you could drive several trucks, a fleet of cars and a posse of motorcycles through the newly expanded Museum of Vehicle Evolution. It wasn’t always this way. When the original Shepparton Motor Museum and Collectables opened a decade ago it was the culmination of decades of dreaming. The Goulburn Valley had always been a bit of a mecca for motoring and enthusiasts had talked for years about turning the tinkering and tuning going on in sheds across the landscape into an attraction. There would be no shortage of vehicles to display — the big question was how to get it up and running. It took a disused building and a meeting of like minds to get it happening. The original museum was almost too small by the time it opened, with the original display soon joined by the Furphy Museum, the Farren Bicycle Collection and the Garth Wallace Harley-Davidson Collection. The museum expanded its footprint but already there were plans afoot that would require a rethink. Local trucking legends, buoyed by the success of the museum, began discussing the creation of a truck
museum that would bring together the stories of the region’s operators, mostly family companies that pioneered heavy haulage to support the expanding agricultural and food processing businesses. There was a great story to be told of the connection between water, agriculture, food production and trucking. Together they helped build the region into an economic powerhouse that has sustained growth in population and prosperity. MOVE was envisaged as a place to pair motoring history with our social history, where Dick Clayton’s collection of historic gramophones, radios and telephones and the remarkable Loel Thomson Clothing Collection would help to amplify that feeling of walking through time. The crisp exterior of the new MOVE has a single black door, which opens to an entrance designed to stimulate curiosity and a sense of adventure. Lighting, signage and displays allow visitors to meander, explore and discover. MOVE is well set-up for trade events, product launches and private functions. The outdoor undercover area, which will be used
for weekly markets, is also the perfect base for visiting car and truck clubs. MOVE is a not-for-profit entity and a registered charity. It is governed by an independent board and its purpose is to operate the museum for the benefit of the community. The Federal Government, Victorian Government and Greater Shepparton City Council contributed financially to the MOVE project. The philanthropy of the Andreadis family has gifted MOVE the land and buildings, and established a secure footing for the museum to commence operations. MOVE’s backers also believe in the potential for the attraction to boost visitor numbers and the length of stay for visitors to the Goulburn Valley. “We believe we can get people to change their travel plans and spend a few nights here — visit us as well as SAM, Longleat and Tallis wines and all the other fantastic things we have around here,” Jim Andreadis said. MOVE has the advantage that almost all of the displays are on loan, meaning exhibits will change regularly and every visit will offer new things to discover.

Putting on a show for all to see MOVE CURATOR AND LIFELONG CAR ENTHUSIAST JADE BURLEY IS REVVED UP AND READY TO GO.
“Then I had a couple of Saabs at one point, which was a bit left field. I really did enjoy those cars,” he says with a wistful look in his eye. Five years ago he followed his partner Caroline Smith to Shepparton, and they now have a fouryear-old son, Will. When the curator-manager’s job came up at MOVE, Jade knew it was the right fit for him. Jade Burley
Jade, 42, began his working life in the sales and marketing side of the Tasmanian liquor industry. But like many blokes, he’s been a car buff for as long as he can remember. “I’ve always had one too many cars taking up room in the shed — or my long-suffering parents’ shed,” he says with a smile. Over time, he’s come under the spell of a number of styles, eras and marques.
“The motoring scene in Shepparton is just interwoven in the DNA of the place. The hardest part of the job is to decide on what to leave out, or the best shed full of cars to display — because there is an awful lot of choices in this town.” Jade can’t wait to show the world just what has surfaced from the backyards and sheds of Shepparton and beyond. “There are some amazing collections and amazing people, and there’s an undercurrent of real excitement for this project. People perhaps don’t quite grasp the length and breadth of it — but when they do see it, we can’t wait to see their reactions.”
“A mate’s dad’s collection got me really interested in Europeans and exotics. I had a British racing green 1972 BMW 2800 for a while — that was a favourite.

- KENWORTH DEALER TRUCK AND TRANSPORT PAVILION -
Trucking magnificent TRUCKING HISTORY TAKES CENTRE STAGE WITH THE HUGE KENWORTH DEALER TRUCK AND TRANSPORT PAVILION.
The huge Kenworth dealer truck and transport pavilion features the stories of local trucking legends, and fine examples of Australian trucking history from the early part of the previous century to the present. Stories of resourcefulness, hard yakka and grit from Goulburn Valley pioneers such as the Phillips, Sali, Kreskas, Mawson, Keating, Kalafatis and Leocata families will be told via 3D displays, video and photographs from the days of pre-war haulage and through the years of growing fleets and industry battles. Among the many historic vehicles on display will be the first Kenworth truck purchased by Shepparton’s legendary truck operator Ted Phillips. The 1978 Kenworth was still on the road until 2006 when it was retired to The National Road
Showcasing the region’s rich history Almost a year ago to the day, I stood in a vast open field at the rear of the existing Shepparton Motor Museum building. Shovel in hand, I ceremoniously threw some soil over my shoulder as part of the official ‘sod turning’ event for the Museum of Vehicle Evolution. The day was the culmination of years of planning and hard work. Now with the official opening of MOVE upon us, the excitement and anticipation that was plentiful on that day can now rightfully be celebrated as we cut the ribbon on a showcase of the Goulburn Valley’s long history of involvement within the Australian transport sector and associated industries.
I’m proud the Federal Government was able to contribute $2.5 million to a project that will undoubtedly bolster the Goulburn Valley’s cultural tourism offering and provide numerous flow-on benefits to other businesses in the region. Like the new Shepparton Art Museum just up the road, MOVE will be a key catalyst in drawing visitors to the area, particularly as borders reopen and some normality returns post-COVID. It is an invaluable asset, and I would like to thank everyone who has donated their time, money, skills and mementos to make this cutting-edge facility a reality.

There’s a beautifully restored International once owned by Toolamba orchardists Giovanni Costa and Sons — with fresh paintwork and signage reflecting a bygone era of fruit transport. Then there’s a blinding restoration of a Mack Magnum 500 once owned by Jim Ristovichis and called the Fruit Express. Also on display will be a restored model of the first truck that Keatings started out with. Showing just how long Shepparton haulage has been operating, there’s a horse-drawn tip dray that modern construction giant Mawsons once used, a 1920s Shepparton tipper and plenty of examples of early combustion engines. There are nostalgic early fire trucks for the big boys, and a skilfully rebuilt Dodge fire truck complete with ladders for the little boys, and girls, to play on. As MOVE curator Jade Burley sums up: “There’s a mix of really significant historic stuff, plenty of restored shiny things — and everything in between.”

Since 1968, when Arthur Kreskas began carrying fresh fruit and vegetables between Shepparton and the Footscray Wholesale Fruit & Vegetable market in Melbourne with a 1957 Dodge Tray truck, he has been committed to treating his customers’ businesses like his own. Today his sons, Les and John, continue Arthur’s legacy, and Kreskas Bros has become the leading carrier of import and export shipping containers between the Goulburn Valley and the Port of Melbourne. Through four generations, this family-owned Australian business has built a reputation based on honesty, integrity and reliability. The success of the business relies on the expertise of its strong team and in offering services of endto-end import and export container handling, specialised container moving equipment and 3PL (Third Party Logistics) solutions.
CAF ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOVE. A fantastic local project delivered through government, corporate and philanthropic initiatives!
Well done to everyone involved in MOVE. You have done Shepparton proud. Shepparton’s much anticipated MOVE museum has opened its doors, giving our community a much-needed burst of excitement. The $6.2 million extension of the Shepparton Motor Museum was made possible thanks to the hard work and dedication of the MOVE staff and the large number of volunteers. While government dollars have gone toward this new hub, we must remember the generosity of individuals in our community who donated their funds, time, and vehicles to make this world-class museum a reality. We have a proud history of transport in our community with more trucks registered in Shepparton than anywhere else in regional Victoria and it’s a great day that we can showcase our past with the opening of MOVE. Car, trucking, and even fashion enthusiasts will come from across the state – and eventually from interstate and internationally – to see the range of rare vintage cars, items from the iconic Furphy brand and the Loel Thomson fashion collection.

BURSON AUTO PARTS MARKS 50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH
THE MUSEUM OF VEHICLE EVOLUTION July …2021 – Australia’s Burson Auto Parts extends the company’s 50th Anniversary celebrations to regional Victoria by becoming a partner of an exciting new chapter of our country’s motoring heritage and culture.

Driving the Goulburn Valley into the future Victorian Government Minister Jaala Pulford and MOVE curator Jade Burley.
THE GOULBURN VALLEY IS A REGION ON THE MOVE. The Victorian Government is delighted to have been able to play a part in the relaunch of the Museum of Vehicle Evolution. The state-of-the-art museum highlights the Goulburn Valley’s rich transport history and significance as a leading national food bowl region. MOVE will be a key driver of regional tourism, jobs and economic strength with visitors to the Kialla attraction projected to inject $5.7 million a year into the local economy.
Visitors will want to stay longer, spend more and come back again and again.
Our commitment to MOVE is part of a $30 billion investment in rural and regional Victoria since 2015.
The 10,000 square metre museum is very much of today but celebrates a rich history with multimedia and fixed displays — and also room for fashion, jewellery and accessories dating back to 1788.
It delivers on our promise to make Shepparton an even better place to live, work, visit and invest.
The Victorian Government has provided a $900,000 grant to help bring this significant project to life and create a regional must-see experience, much like our contribution to the exciting new Shepparton Art Museum.
We congratulate everyone who has worked to deliver this outstanding community asset and encourage visitors from near and far to come and experience the wonders of MOVE when it’s safe to do so. From the Victorian Government
Telfords are proud to have been involved in the construction of MOVE and would like to congratulate the MOVE board and staff on their vision for a great complex. We look forward to a continued association.

- FURPHY MUSEUM -
Celebrating a Shepparton icon IT’S NO FURPHY, THE FURPHY MUSEUM IS AT MOVE.
Just over two years after the Shepparton Motor Museum opened in 2011, a collection of Furphy artefacts was added to the attractions at Emerald Bank.
Adam said Furphy collector Josh Powles had overseen the revised layout and additions to the collection, while Tony Badrock had once again worked his magic with the timberwork entrance and façade.
Historical photos, displays of agricultural machinery, a recreated foundry and, of course, a display of the best-known Furphy product — the water cart — were added to the rear of the motor museum building.
“We have loved working with these guys and the crew at MOVE to be part of this fantastic development for Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley and congratulate the whole team for their vision and execution,” Sam said.
From the beginning, the Furphy Museum has been a natural addition to the motor museum — adding a real piece of local and national engineering history to the facility. The collection is a combination of items already held by the two companies — J. Furphy and Sons and Furphy Foundry — as well as items that have been donated or loaned from members of the public. Significant pieces are continually being sourced and added. Now, with the opening of MOVE, the presentation of the Furphy collection has been completely renewed and expanded to include many of the original patterns used in the foundry. Fifth generation Furphys, Adam and Sam, are great-grand nephews of Australian literary giant Joseph Furphy. The cousins still run the Shepparton-based family business and are proud supporters of MOVE and its Furphy Museum. “With the fantastic new developments there we have taken the opportunity to update and refresh our exhibit and we love how it has come up,” Adam said.
MOVE’s Furphy collection covers a period from 1864, when the legendary Australian pioneer engineer John Furphy first started his apprenticeship as a blacksmith in Kyneton, to the present. The museum houses an almost complete collection of water cart ends spanning a production period of more than 130 years. The collection also includes many other items made by Furphy’s foundry over the years as well as items relating to the Furphy family itself. Of special note are a set of harrows made by John Furphy in Kyneton, dated 1869. The MOVE grounds will also be home to ‘The BIG Furphy’ — a giant iconic water cart — which greets visitors at the front car park. From the iconic Furphy water cart where Australian soldiers would spin their tall tales in World War I, through the development of post-war agricultural machinery and on to the manufacture of presentday cutting-edge engineering products — the display tells the story of Australia’s oldest and most iconic family business, still based in Shepparton.

Gift of precious history VALUABLE COLLECTION IS IN SAFE HANDS. As the collections manager for the Loel Thomson Clothing Collection, Stacy Short has been doing a deep dive into fashion history.
“Obviously, my passion is ancient history, but this is more than 200 years of Australian history told through the clothes we wore every day.”
After spending a decade studying from home while juggling parenting, Stacy is finally exploring her passion for history — spending the last few months going over the 10,000 items in the collection.
Loel Thomson has helped to relocate the collection, including having the first display ready
“I did an undergraduate degree, a Bachelor of Arts majoring in history, and then a master’s degree in cultural heritage, which is essentially museum studies,” she said. “I did all that at home online while parenting my kids. Ancient history was my primary interest, but when you’re trying to get work in the museums field it’s pretty limited, you just take what you can get, and this was the offer I got and it seemed pretty exciting.” Stacy admits clothing has been a steep learning curve, but her role is to understand and curate the exhibitions and the possibilities are limitless, with thousands of items to choose from to create themed displays that continually change. “Yes, it’s been a big learning curve but it’s fascinating. I’m actually a little bit surprised at myself at how much I am enjoying it and how interesting it is,” Stacy said.
“From now on, it’s really just a matter of getting in there amongst the clothes, looking at it, feeling it and seeing it for myself, and getting that real familiarity with the whole collection,” Stacy said. “Loel had 40 years to get to know the collection; you can go for a deep dive in the storage area and never want to come out.” The displays will change regularly, reflecting different eras, designers, social norms and shifts in technology. “There is an element beyond the visual or the texture and feel, there’s a lot of technical elements as well,” Stacy said. “The physical construction of items, how things are actually made and the development of technologies or techniques is also part of the history covered in the collection.” The collection also has its own library, an important resource for research — which is already helping to build links with academic institutions.

- LOEL THOMSON CLOTHING COLLECTION -
Fabric of time LOEL THOMSON’S CLOTHING COLLECTION TELLS THE STORY OF EVERYDAY LIFE.
The amazing and important collection of 10,000 items of clothing, jewellery and accessories dating back more than 200 years is now on permanent public display for the first time at MOVE. Loel and husband Bryan had a successful truck dealership in Shepparton for many years and purchased and restored the 1879 Italianate mansion Noorilim on the banks of the Goulburn River near Murchison. It was during research for the restoration that Loel became interested in what people had worn during the past 200 years in Australia. For the next 20 years she built a substantial collection which has enormous historical and social importance. “I was dealing with curtains, carpets, light fittings
and the garden, and I realised that costume was also an important part of it,” Loel said. The collecting was serious, with courses undertaken in museum studies in Australia and overseas. “It isn’t national costume or sporting costume or uniforms, it is the everyday clothes that would have been worn in Australia,” Loel said. “The collection is clothing that would have been worn in Australia for the last just over 200 years — ordinary, everyday clothes.” Rather than a study in fashion, Loel is careful to explain that her collection is a social history and, just like the trucks, cars, motorcycles, pushbikes and memorabilia elsewhere at MOVE, it helps reveal more about us — how we worked, lived and looked. “I haven’t said no if somebody brings me a Dior, but not everyone wears high-class clothing; the collection is comfortable, affordable clothes. “And with that in mind, I’ve got to be quite strongwilled not to accept every wedding dress that people bring to me, but during the war when fabric was rationed so severely, very often a bride could not have a full wedding dress, we do have examples made from curtain material which was not rationed.” There are important local items in the collection, including the dress then Shepparton Lady Mayoress Nancy Vibert had made to wear when she was presented to Queen Elizabeth II during the Royal Tour of Australia in 1954. Royalty exerted a strong influence on fashion in Australia.

“
THE AIM OF THE COLLECTION IS TO ILLUSTRATE WHAT WAS WORN AT A CERTAIN TIME, AND A CERTAIN PERIOD – STACY SHORT
“Death played an important part in fashion for a long period during the early part of Australia’s history. When Prince Albert died, Queen Victoria insisted on staying in mourning for the rest of her life, and you would wear black, including black jewellery.” It is a far cry from the bright and colourful clothing of the 1960s. Everyday clothes didn’t just change with the fashion of the day, they also reflected changes in what was perceived as the perfect human shape.
are wearing. Prior to that, you had to rely on sketches in magazines. “The collection includes hundreds of women’s magazines from different periods that also illustrates the jewellery, the hairstyle, where the hat was worn and everything that goes with the story of the period. “What you’ll see in the collection is absolutely authentic costume. I haven’t added, I haven’t mended, I haven’t altered.”
“For the fashion of a certain period, you have to consider the underwear; the underwear is what creates the shape, so you have to get the underwear shape right, and if you’re starting right back in the 1800s to the mid-1800s underwear was very complicated with the corset and several layers of petticoat to give you the shape and the back of the dress,” Loel said. “Then then we get to the 1920s, where the straight boyish figure was the fashion, where you wore a bustier to flatten yourself, unlike the 1950s, where we had the twin peaks of the 50s and the full skirts of the 50s that required a skirted petticoat underneath.” The clothing collection is vast and will be forever changing as different elements are placed on display. The accessories and even the furniture and props are all meticulously researched and accurate to the period. “The aim of the collection is to illustrate what was worn at a certain time, and a certain period. And when one wears a dress, it is not worn on its own, a whole lot of things went with it,” Loel said. “From around 1850 we do have photographs, so you’ve got an accurate reference of what people

Council proud to support MOVE COMMUNITY LEADERS EMBRACE MOVE. On behalf of Greater Shepparton City Council and our community, I am extremely pleased to congratulate the team at the Museum of Vehicle Evolution (MOVE) for their extraordinary efforts in transforming the previous well-established motor museum into a new state-of-the-art national icon. Council is proud to have supported MOVE and its journey by contributing almost $1.4 million to the new facility, which will attract many new and returning visitors to the region. Greater Shepparton is a vibrant and diverse community, with an impressive range of
facilities and activities. We very much look forward to seeing the exhibitions take shape within the museum with its ever-evolving collection, highlighting the region’s strong transport history and honouring local industry pioneers. Once again, we are thrilled to see the doors open to MOVE, another exciting addition to the region’s offerings which will drive visitation and keep our economy strong. Congratulations!

Local ingenuity delivers a punch EVERY ATTRACTION NEEDS SOMETHING SPECIAL — AND MOVE CERTAINLY HAS ITS OWN ‘WOW’ FACTOR. After stepping through the curved entrance, visitors move from the dark to a dazzling display of the latest ‘hero’ vehicle turning slowly on a turntable. The four-metre diameter turntable made by Mooroopna manufacturing specialists EDP Australia PTY LTD is a feat of engineering in its own right. Designed by company owner Ian Parsons, the turntable is operated by CNC — computerised numerical control — which involves laser cutting and metal folding from concept design to manufacture. “It’s been a challenge from an engineering point of view, but it’s allowed me to use new technology
that I’ve put into the company over the past three years,” Ian said. “Without that technology we wouldn’t have been able to produce it as accurately as we have.” Ian said the turntable had been built to within one millimetre of the original four-metre design. “We design and manufacture packaging machinery — not turntables. So this was a real challenge and a valuable exercise to use some new techniques,” he said. The 74-year-old engineering business employs 30 people in manufacturing specialised fresh produce packaging and handling equipment.

Fifty per cent of its business is with the Australian citrus industry. EDP also exports equipment to North America. Ian said the whole concept of MOVE was fantastic for Shepparton. “Any car enthusiast is going to love it, and his wife has the opportunity to go next door and look at the clothing exhibition — it’s a win-win,” he said.

- PAUL FARREN BICYCLE COLLECTION -
Pedalling through the past TELLING THE STORY OF PEDAL POWER IS THE LATE PAUL FARREN’S BICYCLE COLLECTION.
Paul is known to many cycling enthusiasts as the founder of the Great Victorian Bike Ride and, along with his wife Charlie, a leading advocate for recreational cycling through Bicycle Victoria — but he was also an avid and astute collector. Everyone who loves bike riding should be grateful for Paul’s love of bikes and riding. Paul and Charlie (Bicycle Victoria president from 1986–9) are well known for having one of the world’s outstanding collections of vintage bikes. Charlie says the fantastic and amazing collection of early bicycles was her husband’s obsession. Paul assembled a world class collection of bicycles and tricycles that were made between about 1860 and 1900. “That was because it was a period when all the exciting things happened in the development of the bicycle,” Charlie said. In the early 19th century human-powered wheeled machines first appeared but they didn’t have pedals. “Not having pedals is not terribly helpful, so we
moved on to a thing called a velocipede, which had pedals on the front wheel, and every turn of the pedals took you the circumference of the wheel,” Charlie said. As humans we always want to push the boundaries, and the bike evolved to take riders further and faster. “So, they asked the makers if they could make that front wheel bigger and bigger and bigger, that’s how we ended up with a thing called a penny farthing or a high wheel bicycle.” The penny farthing was thrilling but dangerous and riders would “take a header”, going over the handlebars. Riding clubs were well organised with a bugle giving the signal for mounting and dismounting. The riders — all men — were athletic, moneyed and elite and they went on long rides, drawing cheering and waving crowds. Most people couldn’t afford a bicycle, and women didn’t ride them. We wanted better, safer bikes, and the wealth

accrued from gold allowed enthusiasts to fund the development of them. “There was quite an effort to make this thing safer, and all manner of weird and wonderful designs came about to try and make the bike safer, but really, it was the introduction of gearing and the chain to the rear wheel that developed what was then known as a safety bike and what we ride nowadays,” Charlie said. The Farren Bicycle Collection tracks that development from the earliest examples through to the racing models, the basic design of which is still popular today. Charlie said bicycles were more than just a form of transport, they also transformed the lives of people. “The bicycle allowed women to wear anything we wanted to; we can now wear trousers, we can wear skirts, we can wear anything,” she said. “The bicycle promoted divided skirts initially, and then bloomers, and trousers. It allowed us the freedom to move around independently, we didn’t need a horse and a group or a carriage. We could go off wherever we wanted to, we could go to the next village and check out for talent if we wanted to, and that hadn’t happened before. “So, ladies, the bicycle has been instrumental in your emancipation.”
“
NOT HAVING PEDALS IS NOT TERRIBLY HELPFUL, SO WE MOVED ON TO A THING CALLED A VELOCIPEDE– CHARLIE FARREN
Bikes in the early days had solid tyres, which meant they were not the most comfortable to ride. Most makers saw the seat or saddle as the best opportunity for innovation to improve the ride and comfort. “It will make or break your enjoyment of the ride, and people haven’t really changed, they still want to go further, faster, with less effort,” Charlie said. She said even with the early saddles, there were atomic saddles, air-filled pump-up saddles and even saddles with a hole in the middle so that women could ride without putting pressure on their nether regions in the belief they would fare better in future child-bearing. The Farren Bicycle Collection is fascinating for people of all ages and may even reignite your passion for riding. “Go to MOVE, look at the Farren collection items that are there, then get your bike out of the garage and go for a ride and enjoy yourself,” Charlie said.

MAWSON’S CONCRETE AND QUARRIES & MAWSON CONSTRUCTIONS - MOVE LEGEND In 1927, E. B. (Barney) Mawson and his brother Bill auctioned the equipment they had been using as contractors around Cohuna. Barney used his share to buy a brand new, 1.5-ton Chevrolet truck. The new truck boosted the business and allowed for expansion into all types of cartage, especially firewood and road and channel construction materials. The heart of the Mawson business has always been its people. Barney often reminded his team that “good men are scarce!”. The World War II years of 1939–45 were tough for regional contractors. The Army commandeered
some of Mawson’s more modern equipment and fuel rationing was tight. Barney kept his business going by switching trucks to gas and building semi-trailers out of timber. Mawson’s were among the first earthmoving contractors to use laser levels for irrigation layouts
and general construction work, and the companies have always focused on customer satisfaction and deploying the safest and most efficient equipment. A third generation of Mawson family members manage both divisions and work closely together on large and small infrastructure projects.

Burson Auto Parts backs MOVE MOTORING BUSINESS JOINS FORCES WITH NEW MOTORING MUSEUM. Australia’s Burson Auto Parts extended the company’s 50th anniversary celebrations to regional Victoria by becoming a partner of an exciting new chapter of our country’s motoring heritage and culture. Burson Auto Parts has joined forces with MOVE and a history of transport all the way from bicycles to motorcycles, cars and trucks, featuring a series of iconic vehicles that helped to build modern Australia. “Our partnership with MOVE enables us to showcase our long Australian history in supplying the parts that keep our nation’s cars on the road while also being intrinsically involved with the
many special events that will be held there each year including their annual car show,” Burson Auto Parts marketing general manager Anthony Hughes said. Burson Auto Parts will also be using MOVE for regional Victorian customer and staff training events, providing all guests with access to a unique and interesting motoring venue. “We are delighted to be involved with this exciting new historical motoring museum in our home state, which is opening as we celebrate Burson Auto Parts’ golden anniversary,” Anthony said.
PHILLIPS TRANSPORT
Burson Auto Parts has grown from a business started by company founders Garry Johnson and partner Ron Burgoine, who sold parts from the boots of their cars to mechanics, to becoming Australia’s preferred trade supplier of automotive parts, tools and equipment after opening their first store in Victoria back in 1971. The company has since become one of Australia’s true blue success stories with a total of 200 nationwide stores employing more than 1500 staff with a fleet of almost 1000 carbon offset delivery vehicles ensuring that mechanics always have access to premium quality parts, fast.

The long and winding road to MOVE TRUE BELIEVERS BROUGHT MOVE TO LIFE. Jim Andreadis had a 1250 square metre, tilt-slab building from the former SPC Factory Sales in Mooroopna and the seed of an idea. Another well-known businessman, Lloyd Mawson, had agreed to store the building in pieces on vacant land behind Emerald Bank in Kialla. Lloyd Mawson and Dick Clayton, both keen collectors, got in Jim’s ear and Carmel Johnson had the idea of using the building to start a museum. Jim and Lloyd agreed to erect the building and establish the original Shepparton Motor Museum at Emerald Bank; they also agreed to underwrite the project for the first three years. “I don’t think we ever thought it would amount to all of this; we thought that we’d set something up and see how it goes,” Jim said. “It was Lloyd who said just get something up and running first, and then once we’ve got something up and running, we can make it bigger and better later on.” Shepparton Motor Museum and Collectables was soon bursting at the seams. In the interim, Jim had purchased Emerald Bank from Lloyd, and forged ahead with a 700 square metre extension, including adding a mezzanine and a dedicated space to house the Furphy Museum. By 2016, the building was again becoming overcrowded. With the success of the museum, local transport legends had already started talks about establishing a truck museum. After an initial round of talks the idea was sitting on the backburner but it fitted with the need to expand again.
Federal Government, Victorian Government and Greater Shepparton City Council. It was a trucking link that also brought one of Australia’s most significant clothing collections to MOVE. The 10,000 items were collected over 40 years by Loel Thomson, the wife of Bryan Thomson who started the first Kenworth dealership in Shepparton. The collection needed a permanent home, and MOVE stepped in, adding a dedicated climatecontrolled gallery space so the collection could be on public display for the first time. Behind the scenes and with little fanfare, the Andreadis family has gifted the land and buildings to MOVE, including some that attract rental income. “We want MOVE to help create a critical mass of offerings in Shepparton so that people from across the country will have more reason to take the time to visit and spend longer here,” Jim said.
Paul Farren, whose bicycle collection is a big part of MOVE; and Dick Clayton, whose collection is also on display. Recasting Shepparton as a place to live and visit has also been fundamental to the creation of MOVE. “It is also about a good news story for Shepparton, an opportunity to improve the tourism offering, along with some of the great wineries, some of the good eateries and accommodation providers that are around,” Jim said. “It’s come up a treat, and it will be better in six months and in 12 months because MOVE will keep investing in the visitor experience. “I’ve been to a lot of museums, automotive-type museums in Australia and New Zealand, and Europe as well and what I love about ours is the diversity.” Angela Andreadis said the family was proud of what had been achieved.
“We want the region to benefit and prosper from the visitors MOVE attracts.”
“I was one of those people who was dragged along reluctantly to those museums with Jim, and I think MOVE has definitely got more to offer than a lot of the ones I’ve seen,” she said.
Part of Jim’s passion has been to do justice to the legacy of those who didn’t live to see MOVE reach its full potential — early board member Ian Barker;
“We still have ideas for possible future improvements, so it doesn’t finish here — it’s just the start.”
“It was a perfect fit and it allowed us to raise the bar in terms of our ambition,” Jim said. “We started pursuing more than just an expansion — we now had a vision to create MOVE as a unique and compelling attraction for the region.” The trucking families agreed to contribute financially to the project, but they are also a key component of the story telling at the Museum of Vehicle Evolution (MOVE). The project attracted significant funding from the

all facets of the automotive industry, including passenger vehicles, motorcycles, heavy vehicles and farm machinery, in the retail, service, repair and manufacturing sectors.
Brothers and car dealers Henry and Percy Rickards, along with Montague Simes, realised that larger international counterparts could force smaller, local companies out of the marketplace.
Today VACC provides key business support services to members including skills, training and careers in the automotive industry.
They called together a group of garage owners to meet at the Bendigo Chamber of Commerce on September 20, 1918, and registered a new industry organisation — the Retail Motor Dealers’ Association of Victoria. Soon there were calls to increase the scope of the association to cover allied motor trades and on April 14, 1920, the association was renamed the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce (VACC). Over the years, VACC has grown to incorporate
“Having been founded in Bendigo, regional Victoria remains incredibly important to VACC,” VACC spokesman David Dowsey said. “Around 50 per cent of our members are in regional areas, and the Goulburn Valley is particularly rich with loyal and longstanding members. “VACC is proud to be associated with MOVE and its wonderful activities that celebrate and promote, not only the area’s rich automotive history, but the current industry that is so important to local business and employment in the region.”

SHEPPARTON IS MOVING AHEAD! MOVE is a fitting and first-class showcase of the Goulburn Valley’s long history of involvement within the Australian transport sector and associated industries, and I’m proud the Federal Government contributed $2.5 million to the project. The museum will undoubtedly bolster the Goulburn Valley’s tourism offerings and provide flow-on benefits to other businesses in the region. Like the new Shepparton Art Museum just up the road, MOVE will be a key catalyst in drawing visitors to the area, particularly as borders reopen and some normality returns post-COVID. It is an invaluable asset and I would like to thank everyone who has donated their time, money, skills, and mementos to make this cutting-edge facility a reality.

- PAT AND TINA’S GARAGE -
Celebrating old-fashioned service A SHEPPARTON ICON HAS BEEN IMMORTALISED. Since opening in Shepparton in 1973, Pat & Tina’s BP Service Station has become legend, clinging to the tradition of a full-service garage. Proud co‑owner Joe Di Conza had kept and restored the original pump and, together with the heritage signage, the MOVE display harks back to a time when uniformed service station attendants filled up the tank, checked the water and oil and cleaned the windscreens. Australian service stations used to sell multiple brands of fuel, and attendants wore fancy uniforms with caps and badges or grey dustcoats. By the 1950s the single-branded service stations started to appear as petrol companies embraced the concept of solo marketing. The State Library records that in 1954 a total of 38 servos were counted within a one-mile radius of Camberwell Junction as brands fought for customers. The oil crisis in the 1960s ended the servo wars, and with profits declining, the demise of full-service was accelerated. Despite the passage of nearly 50 years since it opened, Pat & Tina’s remains true to its heritage, and customers still appreciate getting petrol the old-fashioned way.

Today they run a fleet of 40 immaculate vehicles and service a broad range of clients. Joe is proud to employ more than 100 staff.

Alan was passionate about looking after family and employees whilst at the same time delivering the highest standards of customer service in the safest manner possible. Sam has also worked tirelessly with many community and industry associations particularly in the area of transport safety. 1958 they took delivery of their first semi-trailer and by the mid-60s with the fleet expanding they branched out into interstate services.

- MOVE LEGEND -
When Alf, Norm and Ron Taig were approached in 1947 to take on a Shepparton dealership for McCormick International, they had no idea the business would serve the community for 72 years. Taig Bros, as it became known, started in an era of post-World War II rationing, but farming was expanding, and the agricultural side of the business grew. Alf’s son John Taig started with the business as a 20-year-old, and in 1988 he made sure the business was kept in the family, buying out his father and uncles. “In those days we were more agricultural than
motor trucks — we sold heaps and heaps of tractors because International was a fairly popular label and this area was massive in dairy farms, orchardists, graziers, wheat farmers so it was a very wealthy area,” John said. In 1984 Taig Bros became solely a truck dealership, but the business also expanded to Albury and Wagga Wagga. In 1994, Taig Bros made Iveco and Isuzu the core of the business. John retired in 2019 but the Taig name will always have an association with transport in the Goulburn Valley.

- DICK CLAYTON COLLECTION -
Keeping the airwaves alive CLAYTON COLLECTION DONATED TO MUSEUM The late Dick Clayton was well known for many pursuits and much of his life was spent doing things for others in the community. Dick loved history and for many years was the historian at Shepparton RSL. He started the Darwin Defenders branch in the Goulburn Valley and was also instrumental in establishing a memorial at the entrance to Shepparton Showgrounds. The Rookies Garden commemorates the 2500 Army and 37,000 Air Force personnel who completed their basic (rookie) training there during World War II. What few people know is that Dick was also part of the original push to establish a museum for Shepparton. Dick donated his personal collection of radios, gramophones and telephones to MOVE and they have been turned into a fantastic display that is sure to bring back memories for many. For the younger visitors it is an opportunity to see what telephony, music and entertainment looked like before it could all fit into a mobile phone. Just reading the dials of the old radios, with the original call signs of stations that broadcast across the region, is a walk down memory lane and another way for people to explore our social history.
1938 | HARLEY-DAVIDSON KNUCKLEHEAD The high-compression, overhead-valve engine provided much more power than the flatheads of the earlier 1930s. Advertised as a “smoother, quieter and cleaner” motorcycle, the 1938 had many updated parts and didn’t splash oil all over the rider’s pants.

THE GOODFELLOW FAMILY The Goodfellow name is legendary in the transport industry. Aubrey and Beryl Goodfellow established the Precision Driving School in Melbourne and operated it for a decade before moving to Shepparton in 1964 where they established Goodfellows Driving School. Beryl is believed to be the first woman in Victoria to hold an articulated semi licence. Beryl became an instructor at the Driver Education Centre of Australia (DECA), a purpose built driver training facility located in Shepparton. Beryl was a passionate supporter of the Careful Cobber preschool and school aged road safety program and fought to keep it going until 2008. MOVE is home to a gaggle of Careful Cobbers, the

little cars that helped generations of Goulburn Valley children learn road safety and became world famous when Princess Diana squeezed into one for a drive during a royal tour in 1985. Aubrey and Beryl’s sons also worked in the driver education sector. Richard was a truck and B-double instructor for 23 years and instrumental in the successful introduction of B-doubles and B-triples in Victoria. Graham was a regional manager of the RTA and VicRoads. He provided legislative liaison services to DECA’ s driver training program. Graham now owns Goodfellows Car and Truck Rentals. Peter was a motorcycle instructor at DECA and later operated his own driving school business in Queensland.
KEATING FREIGHTLINES Ken Keating got his start in the transport industry in Bendigo but it was Shepparton where he made his mark and where he is still operating today.
- MOVE LEGEND In 1982 Ken Keating Freightlines P/L began, with the operation continually expanding over the years.
In 1964 Ken moved to Shepparton with Streets ice-cream and went on to play a key role in the formation of Zurcas Trucking Company.
Today, Keating Freightlines has a fleet of 22 vehicles and 28 employees. Ken’s children Stephen, Chris, Mark and Karen have also been an integral part of the business.
In 1969 Ken bought a truck from Geoffrey Thompson Fruit Packing Company, building on his knowledge and expertise in the trucking industry.
The Keating name remains strong with the third generation also joining the business — Ashley, Ross and Matthew.

Big kids behind the wheel Rumbling along at the far end of the Kenworth Dealer Truck Pavilion is a real Kenworth truck cabin that has been converted to give visitors young and old a sense of what it is like to drive a big rig. A short throw projector sitting under the front bumper and a sub-woofer buried underneath the cab provide the sights and sounds. You walk into the cabin, slide into the driver’s seat and grab the steering wheel, and what you see and hear are the sights and sounds captured on a real journey around Shepparton and Mooroopna, cruising through busy streets, past food processors and orchards. The kids love it, and plenty of grown-ups have also enjoyed the experience.
Kids can experience a day in the life of a truckie with the converted cabin and projector adventure.

The bulk of MOVE’s Holden display is from General Motors’ in-house design studio in Australia. Among the museum’s 13-vehicle Holden collection are pre-production cars, full-size clay model prototypes such as the VA Sportswagon, and the VF Magnum ute, and the 2019 Colorado extreme concept vehicle. The Colorado was to be Holden’s answer to the Ford Ranger Raptor but Holden pulled the pin before it became a reality. Today, the hand-built pre-production prototype sits in MOVE’s Holden Heritage collection. Holden Australia housed the only vehicle design centre outside the company’s headquarters in the United States. Now, MOVE’s Holden collection gives visitors a rare insight into a unique period of Australian motoring history. “Our Holden Heritage collection tells the story of how intrinsic Australia was in designing GM vehicles sold across the world,” curator Jade Burley said.
I.R. COOTES PTY LTD
- MOVE LEGEND -
As a young man, Ian Cootes dreamt of owning his own truck as he watched trucks roll past the family farm on the Hume Highway. In 1965, in a AB184 International, I.R Cootes Pty Ltd began delivering fuel to BP service stations across Melbourne. The company grew to transport fuel, LPG, bitumen and chemicals Australia-wide. Safety, efficiency, technological advancements, and customer service were their hallmarks. Sons Paul and Geoff would also join the family transport business. When Ian sold the company in 2000 it had grown to 325 vehicles and 800 employees. In 2016 Ian Cootes was recognised with the
Order of Australia for significant service to the road transport industry, to the development of improved safety and efficiency standards, and to philanthropy.

- MOVE CAR COLLECTION -
Motoring through time GET READY TO BE SURPRISED BY MOVE’S TRULY UNIQUE DISPLAY OF AUTOMOBILE HISTORY. MOVE’s display of cars is a revolving exhibition of vehicles — from the 19th century beginnings of the auto to the latest developments of Tesla and other cutting-edge dream cars. Curator Jade Burley said the exhibition space included a high-turnover feature area that would display new vehicles every month or six weeks. He said the revolving exhibits might centre on different marques, eras, or country of origin or styles. “This means it really will be a dynamic museum, one that people can come to multiple times a year and see something different every time,” Jade said. MOVE’s real point of difference from other car museums is that it really doesn’t have much in terms of a permanent collection. “Everything is generously on loan from collectors
and owners. That gives us the opportunity to regularly change things up,” Jade said. He said the average stay of vehicles in the general display area would be between three and six months. And with 60 per cent of the cars on display owned by Goulburn Valley enthusiasts — changeovers can be completed easily and quickly. Jade was reluctant to give away too many secrets before the grand opening, but he said the first exhibits would include a couple of the original museum’s “crowd pleasers” among a whole new line-up of cars never seen in the facility before. For instance, there’s a 1981 De Lorean DMC12 made famous by the Back to Future movies. This one’s from a large private Melbourne collection.
2015 | DODGE CHALLENGER SRT HELLCAT A two-door muscle car built to resemble the iconic Charger from the 1970s. The owner saw it at an international car show in San Diego where it was on show as the NASCAR pace car for Las Vegas. It’s 1100 horsepower of pure muscle.

At the other end of the century, there’s a black Aussie-assembled, factory right-hand-drive Ford Model T ― locally owned and handed down through one family since new. Of course, people can still expect plenty of Aussie autos, American muscle cars and customs. Jade said there would also be more European and exotic cars to feast the eyes on, with each finding its place in the long and fascinating history of the moving vehicle. “We want to continue that overall theme of vehicle evolution — so telling the story of the motor car from Carl Benz’s Motorwagen through to the Tesla and other electric cars that are now appearing is really important,” Jade said. Jade wants surprise to be a big element of each visit. “I hope that anyone who visits will see cars they have never seen before — these are the cars that even the biggest rev-heads may not have seen, or even known existed. That’s something we’re striving for — the surprise element,” he said. MOVE – Museum of Vehicle Evolution

W.B. HUNTER
Bill Hunter is regarded as a pioneer of the transport industry who not only established his own successful business but fought a long legal battle to end restrictive trade practices for the whole freight industry. Beginning in 1947, Bill commenced trading as W.B. Hunter, produce merchant. As his business grew, Bill took on the fight to end the monopoly on cartage of interstate freight held by the railways. It took 25 years and went all the way to the High
Court of Australia, but Bill’s legacy was a victory that paved the way for the growth of transport in the Goulburn Valley. Bill was passionate about his community, serving 27 years as a councillor and five terms as mayor of Shepparton. Bill was also a large employer of Indigenous and socially disadvantaged workers, and his door was always open to all who needed help. A family man, businessman, trucking pioneer, politician, philanthropist, a man of great

KALAFATIS FRESH PRODUCE
- MOVE LEGEND Today, Kalafatis Fresh Produce is one of Australia’s largest producers and suppliers of pears, and the other arm of the business — JDK Management — continues to grow. Founder Angelo Kalafatis migrated from Greece in 1956 with only a few pounds in his pocket and a head full of dreams. As a young man he had worked on orchards and wanted to continue his passion for horticulture. After just five years he had earned enough to buy a 16-hectare farm in Shepparton East and set about planting his orchard. While he waited for his fruit trees to mature and bear fruit, Angelo spent his days harvesting the vegetables he’d planted between the rows. At night he would truck his produce to market in Melbourne. The Kalafatis story is another that binds together four key elements of the Goulburn Valley: migration, water, fruit and trucking.

Labour of love for car enthusiast MOVE volunteer Ken Cuthbert was there when the original museum got going nine years ago. As president of the Goulburn Valley Motor Vehicle Drivers Club, he would turn up to museum board meetings every Tuesday to help with sourcing cars for display. After seeing multiple changes and expansions Ken is still offering his time and knowledge as one of about 15 volunteers who can be called on to keep the museum clean and running efficiently — like a welloiled machine.
Volunteers are up to the task
He said market days at the museum were a busy time. “There can be 12 of us here on Sundays — and now there’s a huge, covered area which is out of the weather and parking is much easier.” A retired fruit growing teacher at TAFE, Ken also ran his own orchard and cattle farm where he drove and maintained his farm vehicles.
HELPING HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK.
His interest in cars grew when he retired and bought a second-hand Volkswagen. “I’ve always been interested in anything mechanical — driving tractors, changing the oil, that sort of thing,” he said.
Retired Shepparton farmers and orchardists Lorraine and Roger Secomb have spent the past four years volunteering at the original Shepparton Motor Museum and now Museum of Vehicle Evolution. Roger said they were inspired when former museum manager Jenna Buzza gave a talk at their car club — the Goulburn Valley Motor Vehicle Drivers Club.
“We’d come in once a week to dust and clean the cars — and clean up any spots,” Roger said.
Now in his 80s, Ken keeps busy making sure the exhibits are shiny and the place is clean and tidy.
“It was much smaller then and there were two other guys with us — it was a bit of fun and we had lots of chats.”
He volunteers his time every Tuesday and Friday. He said there was always plenty to do — and not just cleaning and polishing.
“She was looking for volunteers, and we thought — we’re retired, Lorraine’s background is dressmaking. It was perfect for here,” he said.
“I think there will be more involvement in talking to visitors — but the main role is still keeping the place neat and tidy and making sure the cars look good,” he said.
Roger’s history with vehicles began with tractors on the farm, then he went on to restore two World War II army jeeps. He was also a NSW and Victorian fire brigade member for more than 30 years. Meanwhile, Lorraine worked in a bridal wear shop using her sewing and repair skills on wedding dresses. Roger drove a Volvo truck for five years, and the couple has also worked in the hospitality industry and moved around Victoria and NSW for work. “We’ve led a pretty varied life, but we’re settled here now, and we love it,” Roger said.
Now the museum has tripled in size, and with an added clothing display — there’s going to be a bit more work for Roger and Lorraine.
The range of the vehicles on display fascinates Roger — and he’s sure visitors will be surprised at the variety and depth of history in the exhibits. “I think many people will be surprised at the variety of cars and trucks that have been hidden in sheds around here.” Keeping the museum in tip-top shape is an ongoing job for Roger and Lorraine — but they’re up to the task. “There’s always work to be done, and we’re happy to put in a few extra hours if needed,” Roger said.
At first their volunteering consisted of a few hours on a Tuesday morning.
“We need a few people to hang around to be able to talk about the history of the place — and the exhibits.” After nine years, Ken is still fascinated by the museum. “There’s still cars here I’ve never seen before — like that one on the turntable at the moment. That’s a pre-1930s car, but it looks like a 70s or 80s model.” Ken has one of his own cars on display — a deep maroon 1936 Chrysler De Soto sedan. Remarkably, Ken is just the third owner of the 85-year-old beauty. “It’s a great place to show it — people can get a real feel for history here,” he said.

Congratulate MOVE, Lloyd Mawson, Vic Serafini, Jim Andredis, Peter Hill and everyone involved in making MOVE a reality S. Sali & Sons originated back in 1937 when Sabri and Hyri Sali migrated to Australia from Albania with their young family to go farming in Shepparton, Victoria. Alan the oldest son, left school prematurely to help out on the family farm but with assistance managed to continue at night school. He was determined to make it on his own. In 1946, when he turned 18, he purchased a small truck. Alan worked non-stop through a full summer fruit season hauling produce to market. His father, however found it difficult to cope on the farm and gave Alan an ultimatum. “Well son, what’s it going to be, the family farm or the truck?” Totally dedicated to family, Alan sold the truck and worked loyally on the farm for the next 10 years.

Initially, Alan drove the truck to the Melbourne market with produce on a daily basis and Sam would load and maintain the truck each night on its return. The business grew and S. Sali & Sons took delivery of its first semitrailer in February 1958. By the mid-1960s with the fleet continuing to expand the Sali brothers turned their focus to interstate cartage, Sam kept driving while Alan assumed responsibility for management. Sam drove a variety of trucks until the late 1970s, with the business continually expanding, he was compelled to come off the road doing operations to allow Alan more time on the managerial side of the business. Alan who passed away in 2002, is credited with much of the success of the business. He never lost sight of his vision for a family transport operation but his primary concern was always the happiness of his family and staff. He was a great believer in being loyal and ethical and customer
Sam went on to have a long and distinguished career in various road transport associations, including being both a founding member and director of the National Transport Federation and was also an active member of the Goulburn Valley Transport Group and founding director of NatRoad. Like his brother, Sam has always been committed to ethical operation and has never accepted business from clients who demand unreasonable delivery times. He is dedicated to the safety and welfare of his drivers. In his 80s now Sam shows no sign of retiring and he still gets a lot of satisfaction from the people he meets in the industry and the quality of service he can provide, with his son Adem directly involved in the business. S. Sali & Sons has continued to grow and in the year 2021 celebrated 65 years in business with the fleet consisting of 10 prime movers, 18 trailers and up to 25 subcontractors running between Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Shepparton transporting general freight.

RENDEVSKI TRANSPORT
- MOVE LEGEND Vasil and Chris Rendevski immigrated to Australia from Macedonia in 1958. In 1961 they purchased their first orchard in Shepparton and soon after their first truck, a 1950 Chevrolet tray truck. A brand new Broome Blue ACCO truck joined the family in 1970 and later a used 1418 Mercedes truck to cart pears and apples to Sydney. Two trips a week, taking 1050 cartons of pears at a time, which then grew into a general freight business. In 1986 John Rendevski won a large contract with a beverage company to cart their soft drinks across the eastern seaboard. Thirty-seven years later Rendevski Transport is still carting the same products, a testament to their reliability and customer service. Rendevski Transport is now a major operation with a fleet of prime movers that ply the eastern seaboard.

Passion and enthusiasm brings MOVE to life PEOPLE POWER MOVES MOUNTAINS, FUELS CARS AND WRITES HISTORY. MOVE is the culmination of our biggest ‘hairbrained’ scheme, and it couldn’t have happened without a host of people who have served on the board of the organisation. We have, in motoring parlance, run on the smell of an oily rag for most of our existence. We started small and have grown steadily because people have been prepared to pitch in. Past chairs Ben Goodall and Leanne Hulm played critical roles in getting the funding to enable us to expand and create MOVE. Carrie Donaldson helped to establish our mission and creed and was instrumental in attracting funding and bringing the Loel Thomson Clothing Collection to Shepparton. Over the years it has been commonplace to see board members cooking sausages, directing traffic at our big events or sweeping the floors. Graham Hofmeyer pitched in to erect the first building, and the builder of our new home — Tony Villani — was already a fixture at the museum, standing out the front on market days with his gold coin donation bucket.
The late Ian Barker broadened our mission in the early days, helping us to embrace bicycles and motorcycles. Ron Stewart expertly managed the project and has been a constant support to MOVE from the earliest days. That’s why MOVE is such a great community endeavour. It is built on the back of great passion, enthusiasm and a willingness to do whatever it took to create a significant attraction for the benefit of the region and its many enthusiasts.

Design creates a journey of discovery Much of the inspiration for the look and feel of the new Museum of Vehicle Evolution came from renowned architect Allister Sarris of Sarris International. It started with a phone call nearly four years ago and ever since Allister has been guiding MOVE through its infancy. “It was a very exciting phone call, and it has been getting more exciting every day,” he said. Allister visited similar museums around the world and credits the MOVE board for being receptive to his “creative flair”. Allister said his first task, given the huge scale of the building, was to break it down into key portions. The façade, which must make an impression on people driving past in a matter of seconds, and the entrance creates a sense of mystery and discovery. Then there’s the gateway to the collections, which has ‘wow’ factor but doesn’t reveal all.
“The entry, that first step into the building needs to be a moment of curiosity, that is why we have the curved walls and the big reveal,” Allister said. Some elements were necessarily big, like the truck pavilion, which is on the scale of an aircraft hangar.
MOVE architect Allister Sarris said the project was one of his most exciting.
“It needed to be a big space, but we didn’t want it looking like a big shed, so the lighting and mood has to be set in a way that takes down the mass and puts the spotlight on the exhibits,” Allister said. “It is one of the most exciting projects I have worked on in my 30 years of business.” Allister said one of the strongest elements of MOVE was intangible — the emotional connection people experience and the memories stirred by objects or stories. “My sentimental and emotional moment is when I walk through and see something my mum wore, and a truck my dad, who was a truck driver, used to drive — or the first Torana I bought. It brings back memories.”
A. ZURCAS TRUCKING COMPANY
PAUL BERTOLI
- MOVE LEGEND -
- MOVE LEGEND Paul Bertoli started an apprenticeship in the automotive industry in 1968.
Bill Zurcas was born in Greece in 1918, and migrated to Australia in 1938. After several years working as a farm labourer and cane cutter he then moved to Shepparton and bought an orchard. Many orchard acquisitions followed over the years and Bill realised he needed a transport business to
deliver his fruit and vegetables to the Melbourne market and port. This was the start of A. Zurcas Trucking Company. In the 1960s he purchased a fruit packing shed called Tru-Pack and incorporated A. Zurcas Trucking Company into the business, which ultimately became Zurcas Coolstore and Packing Company.
Paul was driven by a desire to know how things worked and how to fix them and ultimately, he was also driven to start his own business. His observation was that welldesigned products, backed by quality service and a high degree of customer care, was a strong basis for a successful business.
He secured a dealership with the help of Kubota Tractors and John Berends Implements and has grown to include a wide range of farm equipment and machinery, including Agco and Fendt as well as other brands.
His eye for quality led him to Japanese-made products, particularly tractors.
The Bertoli business now has dealerships in Shepparton, Benalla and Albury-Wodonga.
Greg and the team at Maskell’s Customs & Classics congratulate MOVE We have provided many vehicles for display and are proud to continue to be associated with such a wonderful museum. 52 MOVE – Museum of Vehicle Evolution
In 1976, armed with a Holden ute, $300 and a toolbox, Paul struck out on his own working every hour he could.
- GARTH ‘BULLDOG’ WALLACE’S HARLEY-DAVIDSON COLLECTION -
A treasure trove of Harleys FROM WRECKER TO COLLECTOR, GARTH ‘BULLDOG’ WALLACE’S HARLEY-DAVIDSON COLLECTION WILL HAVE ANY MOTORCYCLE FAN DOING WHEELIES.
Garth ‘Bulldog’ Wallace’s enviable Harley-Davidson motorbike collection consists of 18 bikes tracking the evolution of styles over the 20th and 21st centuries.
When Shepparton motorcycle wrecker Garth ‘Bulldog’ Wallace died in 2012, his family wanted his huge collection of motorcycles kept intact. Collected over his lifetime, ‘Bulldog’ Wallace left behind pristine examples of early Japanese and European motorcycles — but his Harley-Davidson collection is the most treasured. Now in the safe hands of MOVE, the collection comprises 18 bikes representing a century of the famous marque’s line-up from early 20th century boneshakers up to the more recent luxurious Fat Boys and Softails. Garth learned vehicle mechanics working on tractors with his grandfather Albert, who also helped his grandson buy and sell cattle. Garth loved motorcycles and built a motorcycle track at his grandfather’s Kialla farm. After finishing a motor mechanic apprenticeship at Macquip Forklifts he worked at Smith Motors before starting his own business aged 22. Bulldog Motorcycle Wreckers specialised in dismantling, fixing and rebuilding motorcycles, changing and fitting tyres, fixing engines and crash repairs. Garth also sold spare parts for all motorcycle brands and models and sent them across Australia. Mr Wallace started visiting his friend Andrew Govan-Smith in San Francisco to import container loads of Harley-Davidson motorcycles to restore and sell. He also maintained his own collection, leaving many older models in their original condition.
1950s | PRECEDENT RADIO The Precedent brand was manufactured in Sydney by A.W. Jackson Metals Pty Ltd. This model would have been made in the early 1950s. They also came in white.

VARAPODIO ORCHARDS
- MOVE LEGEND -
Santo’s father Rocco migrated to Australia from Italy and their fruit business started with a small plot of land at Ardmona. The Varapodio Orchard business began supplying fruit and vegetables to market and Ardmona fruit cannery. Santo joined his father in the 1950s and went on to build a large and successful horticultural business, which continued on with the next generation of the family. Santo also made a business out of delivering his family’s produce, and the produce of other local growers, to wholesale markets in his 1956 Ford F600 truck ‘Miss Teresa’, named after his beloved wife. Along with his achievements in the fruit industry, Santo was recognised with the Order of Australia for his outstanding service, contribution, and leadership in his local community.
For many years Santo was the main organiser and front man for the annual Rotary fruit and vegetable market which raised a significant amount of funds to support local charities.

MOVE says thank you COMMUNITY SUPPORT HAS DRIVEN MOVE FORWARD. The board, staff and volunteers at MOVE express their gratitude for the incredible support shown during development of this wonderful community project. We received major funding along the way, without which MOVE would not have blossomed as quickly. We thank the Federal Government and in particular Federal Member for Nicholls Damian Drum who recognised the value MOVE would add to regional visitation and the economy. We thank the Victorian Government and in particular ministers Jaclyn Symes and Jaala Pulford, who visited and embraced the project. Greater Shepparton City Council’s support was critical in securing the Federal Government funding, and council’s contribution extends well beyond the grant provided. MOVE will continue to work with council as part of a network of cultural attractions to encourage visitation and events to the city.
State Member for Shepparton Suzanna Sheed has been a constant supporter and advocate for MOVE. The MOVE build was expertly guided by Ron Stewart and head contactor Tony Villani. Throughout the development and execution of the project we were blessed to have contractors reflect the community-based not-for-profit nature of MOVE in their pricing. Without exception, subcontractors and suppliers sharpened their pencils so MOVE could get the best outcome from the budget we had. Many contractors also donated back some, or all, of the margins they were making as a donation to MOVE. Those businesses have also supported MOVE through advertising in this publication, and we ask that you also support them.
PACCAR Australia and its network of dealers led by Graham Thomson Motors, the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, CMV Truck & Bus, Burson Auto Parts, Commonwealth Bank and Goulburn Murray Credit Union are valued sponsors of MOVE. Many other businesses and individuals have made donations in cash and kind to help us along the way. The transport industry, and particularly our Legends, have also generously supported MOVE and we also thank those who are generously providing their collections for us to display. MOVE is now open, and you can also support us by keeping the museum top-of-mind when you have relatives and friends visiting. Thank you one and all.
Although generously supported by grants, MOVE still had to raise more than $1 million through philanthropic means or sponsorship.
