TIM JOHNSTON: Shell Rimula Wall of Fame Inductee 2025
Tim’s early years were spent with his father, uncles and family friends travelling Tasmania with different logging contractors, plant hire and mining operations. Tim began his career at 15, signing on as a heavy diesel mechanic apprentice.
In 2000, he joined the Australian Army, receiving multiple commendations while serving, including trade, for managing and repairing assets and assisting with equipment allocating.
After leaving the army in 2008, Tim contributed to major infrastructure projects with Heavy Haulage Australia, including motorways, airports and energy developments.
His most memorable loads include working with massive pre-assembled units for Origin Energy up to 8 metres wide and squeezing excavators and D10 and D11 bulldozers through the Sydney CBD.
In 2015, Tim purchased a heavy-rated Kenworth prime mover to support his own business and has since tackled complex heavy haul and oversize jobs across the country.
Congratulations Tim, and well deserved.
