Local Couple ‘Haulin The Hume’

16 April, 2025 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

The 1956 AR110 International owned by Bruce and Margo Capps.

on Saturday 12 April, local couple Bruce and Mar­go Capps joined 319 other vintage trucks for the popular ‘Haulin the Hume’ road run.

With lots of smoke and noise these rel­ics of yester years transport industry attract plenty of attention with some fans even camping out to secure the best vantage points to see the old girls huff and puff their way south.

Starting in Sydney and following the old Hume Highway where ever possible the convoy of trucks wiggled their way though old villages and historic locations to Gun­dagai for an overnight stay and then re­turned the following day.

This 1956 AR110 International was a lo­cal piece of equipment its whole working life, being bought new by Belubula farmer David Cullane.

Still in its ‘working clothes’ almost every­thing apart from cab and chassis has been upgraded or replaced enabling its return to active duty. To look the part she takes on the appearance of a breakdown vehicle for the run, which was a common sight in days gone by.
