The Jamboree seems to have fizzled out, what do you think of (and Numpty's availability) a Skullers' camping weekend Ozzie Day weekend?

All comment please.

Challenger- I think only two were ever made. A dedicated heavy haulage prime mover IIRC rated at 150 tons. They were fitted with a unique modern (for the time) looking conventional cab. Both were built to Brambles HH spec, with Cat power, 15 speed RR and Eaton 2 speed bogie. I don't recall but imagine the rear would have Hendrickson walking beam suspension or possabley a heavy 6 rod.

A4(?)- A general purpose truck available as an 8, 12 or 17 tonner (4x2, 6x4 or 8x4) Cat 3208 engine, 9 speed RR or optional Allison auto.

As a small, local low volume manufacturer specs could be very flexable, according to he customer's requirement. Leader built an 8x4 for a steel merchant which could carry 8 metre lengths without overhang, it was the only rigid truck able to do so within the regs of the day. I drove this truck after Mayne Nicklass took over the fleet and distribution from the merchant. I was also second choice out of 120 applicants to drive one of the Challengers after Brambles disposed of it. The new owners reconditioned mining equiptment at Wacol, south west Brisbane. I lived near Numptyville at the time, which is why I did not get the job.

Local knowledge. and speaking of local, Leader was more popular in Queensland than any other state. Most of them were fitted with tippers, as well they were popular in FNQ with cane cockies.
