Review: The Long and Muddy Road
Cargo is an old army truck with a new life delivering supplies around outback Australia.
In The Long and Muddy Road Cargo is preparing to deliver supplies to remote, outback Australian areas other trucks and cars find hard to access.
Cargo has all the equipment he needs to drive on muddy roads. Before Cargo came along all the supplies had to be delivered by plane when the roads were inaccessible.
Along the way Cargo meets a sheep farmer in need of help and a lost and hungry dog. Cargo is always happy to help whenever he can.
After a long and muddy trip Cargo makes it to town with a delivery of food, mail and essential supplies.
The Long and Muddy Road is beautifully illustrated with double page colour spreads. The story-line is engaging and is sure to appeal to all little car and truck enthusiasts.
My rating 5 / 5 🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚
About the author
Paul
Dekmetzian lives in Melbourne, Australia. Between 1973 and 1981, he was
engaged with the Australian Army, first as a School Cadet and then as a
young
Private at Monash University Regiment. This involvement sparked the
interest of a lifetime.
As the grandfather of eleven and an active member of the
Victorian Military Vehicle Corps (VMVC), Paul has witnessed firsthand how excited people of all
ages get when they see these historic vehicles, both on the road and on
display.
He believes that the positive effect of engaging with this history should not be
underestimated and hopes that The Adventures of Cargo the Army Truck will ignite the curiosity of a new generation of Australians.
