This weekend, the White Hill Truck Drivers' Memorial event will take place at Murray Bridge, South Australia, to honor truck drivers who have died. The ceremony is scheduled for 11am, with participating trucks assembling earlier to prepare for a convoy to the memorial. Although there won't be a truck show this year, the event's organizer, Keith Wood, hopes to reintroduce it next year. The memorial, now displaying over 100 names, was initiated by Wood, who diligently campaigned for its creation. He invites a large turnout to pay respects to the fallen truckies.
