Harvie Oliver: Shell Rimula Wall of Fame Inductee 2025
Harvey began his career as a fabricator but it was his welding skills that opened the door to trucking.
In 1982, he set out from Perth with co-driver Danny Polian, only to be stranded in Derby for three months when floods cut the road to Darwin. This was first taste of the Kimberley’s challenges!
Between 1982 and 1984, he proved himself on supply runs before joining CLAN Contracting, hauling oil rigs in a W Model Kenworth. After a stint in the Wheatbelt with West Fuel, Harvey returned north, settling in Broome as a trainer and assessor.
From 2014 to 2024, he joined McCorry Brown Earthmoving, hauling everything from machinery to camp relocations. From remote back paddocks to the deserts, Harvey’s career is a testament to his enduring respect for the country he called his workplace.
Congratulations, Harvie.
