Welcome to the Australian Truck Drivers' Memorial
Home
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 being one of the busiest major highways in the world.
Thousand gather to show thier respect at the annual memorial service.
The memorial was founded in 1994 and established with funding from Recar in memory of truck drivers and those directly related with 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 sadly holds the names of many who lost their lives during their line of duty whilst working for the transport industry.
The Australian Truck Drivers’ Memorial also continues to raise awareness of the issues surrounding Road Safety Awareness and encourages Truck Drivers and other road users to undertake initiatives to reduce road accidents by promoting Safe Driving on our roads.
Sadly, the memorial inscriptions will continue to grow and the wall now includes some 1000 names of truck drivers killed on our roads. “We wish there were none”.
