As a traveller around Australia for some 40 years, Slim shared a bond with Australian truckies and wrote many truckie’s songs. It’s important we share this story with the new Slim Dusty Museum to be built in Kempsey opening the end of 2010.Slim Dusty Foundation Wants Aussie TruckiesTruckies are wanted to star in tribute to Slim Dusty:
Wanted, one male truckie and one female truckie, to be interviewed by a professional oral historian who works with the National Library of Australia, with the end result that we create a short film using voice over, film footage ‘on the road’ and Slim’s songs, to be shown in the museum.
The oral histories will eventually be stored in the NLA.

If you are a truckie and like listening to Slim Dusty’s songs, here’s your chance to be part of Australian history and be part of the Truckies Tribute Programme and donate a Truckie Paver.
