He called it the Crystal Highway due to the seemingly never ending piles of broken windscreen glass at the side of the road. Yes, heard that. We called it Sesame Street or the Black Snake. So many truckies died on it, fatigue and driving too fast for the conditions, cleaned up mostly now, but still the odd fool pays the ultimate sacrifice. If you stop at Tarcutta there is is a truckies memorial, so many names, so sad. Edited September 24, 2020 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
