Expressions of Interest - We are inviting Tarcutta residents who are interested in being involved with our committee, which manages the Memorial Wall and Annual Service, to contact the Chairman Doug McMillan or administration.
Applications - It has come to our notice that some people may have sent or given applications to the wrong address or organisation. Applications must be sent to the Lavington address to be added to the memorial wall at Tarcutta. If you have sent one in and not received a letter from Pam, our administrator, then you should call us on one of the contact numbers or resend the application to the correct address.
Mark your diaries - The next Memorial service will be held at 1pm on 27 October 2012 at the Tarcutta Park followed by a dinner for families and friends in Wagga Wagga.
Upgrading of plaques- Over the past couple of years we have undertaken a refurbishment of the plaques due to some of the names becoming illegible. The plaques are now complete with all names etched in gold. If you find any errors please let us know.
Opportunity to purchase Ray Gilleland's book - "My Way on the Highway" at a reduced rate.
Ray Gilleland - The Nullarbor Kid, has kindly offered some copies of his book about life on the post war roads of Australia to the ATDM for a reduced rate of $25.00 plus postage.
There are some great stories in the book and all of you old truckies out there will identify with them whereas the younger generation will have a chance to read about how it used to be on the highways of Australia.

The Australian Truck Drivers Memorial is situated in the small township of Tarcutta New South Wales Australia, midway between Sydney & Melbourne. This site was chosen as the town has a long historical association with the transport industry and is situated beside the Hume Hwy which is one of the busiest major highways in the world.
Thousands gather to show their respect at the annual memorial service in October.
The memorial was founded in 1994 and established with funding from Recar in memory of truck drivers and those directly related to the industry who have lost their lives.
The Australian Truck Drivers Memorial Inc is a non-profit organization, run by a voluntary committee which relies on donations and sponsorship to provide and maintain the upkeep of the wall.
Every October there is a memorial service held at the wall in Tarcutta followed by an evening function for family and friends.
The memorial wall holds the names of many who lost their lives during their line of duty whilst working for the transport industry - some driving, some whilst loading and unloading and from a wide range of years. With the inclusion of the new "In Memory Of" wall, families of drivers are now able to have the names of their loved ones who have died of illness or natural causes included.
The Australian Truck Drivers’ Memorial committee encourages Truck Drivers and other road users to undertake initiatives to reduce road accidents by promoting Safe Driving on our roads.
