Thorny Devil Loc: Alice Springs, Central Australia

Playing with grey scale.

Alice Springs is the home of the National Road Transport Hall of Fame which pays tribute to many pioneers of the Australian road transport industry. A large cross section of historical heavy vehicles are displayed, mostly undercover. The site also includes the Kenworth pavilion which houses a large number of Kenworth trucks made in Australia.
