Gary Fuller: Shell Rimula Wall of Fame Inductee 2025
Gary began driving in 1977 with RJ & GJ Lynch in South Grafton, delivering bricks. In 1979, he moved to the NT, mustering cattle on Kurundi Station and trucking them to Tennant Creek.
During the 80s, he drove for Golf Trans, Ascots, Shell, Boral Gas, and Timor Transport, progressing from an Autocar to his first new prime mover, a W Model Kenworth.
Gary then drove for Dean McBride doing TNT Darwin Express, completing five trips a fortnight. It was hard work as he had to unload all three vans and be back in Alice the next afternoon to catch the train.
Settling in Alice Springs in 2000, he joined NT Fuels, running to the Tanami and Granites Gold Mine. Gary has been with Refuel since 2020. He’s tried to retire when he turned 67 then 68 then 69 but with few skilled drivers available to replace him, he’s still on the road!
Congratulations Gary. Keep those wheels a turnin’
