In this episode of Six Foot Behind the Bullbar, we fire up the time machine and roll back to 1996 with a legendary story by Howard “Shanksie” Shanks — first published in Truckin’ Life magazine (Vol. 19, No. 10).

Trucking Through the Last Frontier follows Andrew Hickey’s brand-new Kenworth T950 as it takes on the wilds of outback Queensland. Thirty years later, a phone call from Andrew sparked the revival of this iconic yarn — complete with crocodile encounters, red dirt roads, and big horsepower in the bush.

Resurrected from the archives with original slides and fresh audio, this episode is a tribute to a golden era of Australian trucking — where grit, machines, and mateship got the job done.
