Lights on the Hill Memorial Convoy 28th Feb 09

The Lights on the Hill Memorial Convoy is held annually to remember those Queensland truckies who have lost their lives on the job over the years. This year, with over 700 trucks taking part the normal destination of Lake Apex Park at Gatton (where the memorial is located) was simply not big enough and the event was held at the Gatton Showgrounds. I covered it for the LVRC as part of our contract with them, and although big trucks aren't really my thing (whispered quietly because my Father-in-Law has driven trucks his whole life!!) it was amazing to see them all in one place, not to mention them stretching off into the distance down the Warrego Highway.
