King George V Monument

The Tamworth Truck Drivers Memorial, established in 2000 by the Tamworth Truck Drivers Club, honors men and women who have been accidentally killed while working as professional drivers and those who have dedicated their lives to the transport industry. Located on the New England Highway in South Tamworth, NSW, the monument features approximately 180 plaques and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those in the transport sector.

The memorial was officially unveiled on October 28, 2000, by Tony Windsor MP and has since expanded thanks to community support and a grant from the New South Wales Government in 2015. Visitors often leave flowers, notes, and photos, paying tribute to the drivers who have lost their lives, reinforcing the memorial's significance as a gathering place for remembrance and respect.
