On a beautiful summer's day years ago, the MelbourneGarbo and I went on another day trip out North to see what we could find. One of the councils we stopped by was Wodonga Council. I had a feeling that there would still be a good chunk of old equipment being used in the contract, but around the time and after I filmed this video, a few of the old girls, including the truck in the video, have since been replaced. One of the trucks we came across was #070. A 2007 Iveco Acco with a Superior Pak Raptor on it. For its age at the time, it was in pretty good condition and the engine sounded pretty healthy. My favourite part was the beginning of the video, getting a shot of it coming up a small hill and listening to the orchestra coming from that Cummins ISC05 engine.
I actually came across this truck being used as a spare in the Latrobe contract and got a video of it doing garbage. Since that, it has since been sold off at the auctions. Cheers to the awesome driver for letting me video, he was pretty keen. Enjoy!!! ;) ;) ;)
