    PICTURE PERFECT

    Jun 09, 2021 7 minutes
    “He replied, ‘it’s for sale’ so I grabbed my wallet and said ‘how much?’”

    EVERYONE’S HEARD the old adage, ‘a picture paints 1,000 words’. Right? Well, as a journalist I supply the picture as well as 1,000 words to go with it. Some of it is an attempt to be informative, some of it is an attempt to be entertaining, but most of it is just to get paid. Every now and then I get to photograph some trucks where there is no number of words that will ever entertain as much as the photos of aforementioned trucks. Like Gavin Sutton’s Super-Liner for example. A photo of this Mack is worth more than 1,000 words, easily.

    Gavin runs GST transport, based out of Australia’s home of country music, Tamworth. He’s got a fleet of trucks covering all corners of the country and there is a story to tell there as well, but that’s for another day. Right now we are focusing on the ‘right place right time’ situation that resulted in Gavin fulfilling a lifelong desire to own a classic Mack Super-Liner.
