The Late Eddie Holland

This is part of a road train documentary I made I suppose 15 years ago and it features Eddie and Julie Holland and daughter Kimberley. It also features the EddyLiner when it won the Truckin' Life Rig of the Year in 1996. Eddie Holland passed away on July 27, 2011.We have lost one of the highway's unique and most colourful characters.

Thank you so much Bruce for posting this. Hard to believe that this great trucking legend is no longer with us. He will live on thru his children and grand-children so he will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Eddy..............

Eddy will be sadly missed. He was a real character. I still can't really believe he's gone. I know he was only in his 50s but he was what you would call "Old School"...big time.

R.I.P. mate.

I met the guy once at Little Topar near Broken Hill. Lets just say there was a lot of rail way line on his trailers. He was often with another character called jason Barrett,

also well known for 'big loads'.

I never got to meet Eddie, but I did chat to him on the UHF one night and he was a real character. Eddie should have a place in the Road Transport Hall of Fame. Thanks for posting this video, Bruce. I still have the original video of this on Roadtrain II.

RIP Eddie.
