From Two-Wheel Tracks to Bitumen Highways by Tony Liddle

About Tony Liddle was born at Hatches Creek in the Northern Territory in 1940, the son of loving and enterprising parents who worked hard all their lives. He got a truck licence at 17 and spent 47 years driving and operating machinery for roadworks throughout the Northern Territory. Covering countless kilometres on two-wheeled tracks and bitumen roads, he became known as someone who always got the job done and a real gentleman of the road. In 2014 his name was added to the wall of honour at the National Road Transport Hall of Fame. This is his story.
