Toots was one of Australia's best known truckies, and her sparkling Blue Man prime mover has pride of place in the National Transport Hall of Fame at Alice Springs.
Toots and her truck were the lifeline for the communities the length of Cape York, wet or dry.
She was tragically killed during a loading accident on the wharf at Weipa in 1992.
Mrs Vawdrey has shared her mother’s story in the book Toots: Woman in a man’s world.
She will speak about her mother’s exploits on the road, drawing from stories in the book. Copies of the book can be purchased on the night.
Tickets are available online for both the dinner and the truck show.
Dinner tickets include a two-course meal, goods and services auctions and much more and can be purchased at https://www.trybooking.com/CSTVH.
