Description: Across the vast red heart of Australia, one man's name became synonymous with the roar of diesel engines and the dust of endless outback tracks. This vivid portrait of Noel Buntine follows his journey through the pioneering days of long-haul trucking, from hauling cattle along rough bush routes to shaping an entire industry that connected remote communities to the rest of the nation. Filled with colourful characters, hard-won wisdom, and the smell of hot oil under a desert sun, it's a tribute to the grit and ingenuity of a true Aussie original. A must-read for anyone who loves stories of the road, the outback, and the machines and mates that tamed it.
