The Tamworth Truck Drivers Memorial, established by the Tamworth Truck Drivers Club in 2000, honors the memory of men and women who have tragically lost their lives while working as professional drivers. As one of only four memorials of its kind in Australia, it features approximately 180 plaques commemorating those who have dedicated their lives to the transport industry.

This significant monument serves as a place of remembrance, where family and friends leave flowers, notes, and photos in tribute to their loved ones. Unveiled by Tony Windsor MP, the memorial reflects the commitment and support of the community in recognizing the sacrifices made by drivers in the transportation sector.
