Lights on the Hill gallery from the weekend's Port of Brisbane convoy start point.
Coming to the Port of Brisbane early in the morning for the start point of the Lights on the Hill convoy was a stark reminder of why everyone involved in this industry is so passionate.
It takes passion and a genuine love for what you do to be able to continue in an industry after it has taken away someone close to you. There just can’t be any other explanation for it.
It was so heartening to see so many drivers, families and friends out in force to support those who have lost loved ones in this industry and to continue the tradition of Lights on the Hill.
Leaving from Toowoomba and Brisbane, around 400 trucks with banners proudly strung across grills dedicated to those loved ones lost, made the journey to the site of the Lights on the Hill memorial in Gatton for the sad task of adding 55 names to the memorial wall.
Massive thanks to all the Lights on the Hill volunteers who made the event possible.
We’ll have a full feature story on Lights on the Hill 2021 in the Novermber issue of OwnerDriver so stay tuned.
