How I became a Fettler in 1964

How I became a Fettler in 1964

by Rob Bell

My name is Rob Bell, and I was born in East Bankstown (later Greenacre) in 1945, into a solid working-class family. By 1964, 5 years after leaving Punchbowl Boys High, I was requested by the local gendarmes to leave town. This was also issued to many of my friends who, like myself, travelled down the wrong roadway.

A friend who had been off the scene for a while was back in town and was going on about working on the railway as a fettler in a place called Burren Junction. Where the hell is B.J., we all cried, North West NSW, have you heard of Walgett? Well, it's this side of Walgett, and they are looking for workers.

So come Monday, we all troop down to Central Station (about 6 of us) for a medical and get the guts on this Fettler business. Being good, strong Aussie boys with an average age of around 20, we were in. Some of us were sent to Cryon and others to BJ.

How Tailored Trailer Signage Solutions Are Supporting Rural Communities Across Australia

Across Australia’s rural towns, tailored trailer signage is transforming everyday trailers into powerful tools for business and community visibility.

 

Across Australia’s regional towns, trailers are more than just utility vehicles—they’re mobile billboards. From farming hubs to main street markets, Tailored Trailer Signage Solutions are giving local businesses, tradies, and community groups a new way to be seen. With wide roads and long distances defining country life, visibility matters. For many, trailer signage has become a cost-effective way to promote services while still using trailers for everyday transport needs.

In a world where small towns thrive on word of mouth, having a trailer that doubles as a moving advertisement can make the difference between being noticed and being overlooked.

Everyday Benefits: From Paddocks to Main Streets

Farmers and local producers often need to haul gear, stock feed, or produce. By branding their trailers, they turn routine trips into promotional opportunities. Whether heading to the feed store or the farmers’ market, passers-by see their business name and services clearly displayed.

Local market vendors are also turning to trailer signage as a way to promote upcoming stalls and events. Much like how Tamworth farmers tap into market growth, signage on trailers extends marketing reach beyond a single event—it makes every trip into town an advertisement.

Rural Trades and Small Business Exposure

In regional areas, tradies like fencers, plumbers, and landscapers often travel long distances between jobs. A trailer with a tailored sign attached helps them stand out along highways and in towns where potential clients are always looking for reliable local services.

Unlike permanent signage fixed to shopfronts, trailer signs move with the business. Every stop at a job site, petrol station, or supply yard doubles as a branding opportunity. It’s simple, effective, and far more visible than a business card.

A Role in Community Awareness and Safety

Trailer signage isn’t just for business promotion—it’s also being used in community campaigns and safety initiatives. Councils and local groups often fit trailers with clear, eye-catching signs for fundraising events, awareness drives, or road safety messages.

During fire and flood seasons, mobile signage trailers can help spread warnings quickly across wide rural areas. This approach echoes the proactive stance seen in SES urges locals to prepare for bushfire season, where visibility and awareness can save lives.

Built for Harsh Australian Conditions

Not all signage solutions are the same. In rural Australia, where sun, dust, and storms are part of everyday life, signage needs to be durable, weatherproof, and clear even from a distance.

Modern tailored trailer signage makes use of robust materials, UV-resistant finishes, and flexible designs that ensure long-term visibility without fading or peeling. For councils, businesses, and community groups investing in signage, this durability is key.

For those considering reliable options, Tailored Trailer Signage Solutions provide the versatility and quality needed to withstand regional conditions while delivering strong visual impact.

More Than Just Advertising

Rural families are also finding value in trailer signage for personal use. Some use it for promoting community events, while others create customised graphics for sports clubs or local fundraisers. It’s not unusual to see trailers supporting everything from junior football teams to charity car washes.

The flexibility of removable signage also means a trailer can serve multiple purposes—promoting a business during the week and a community event on weekends. This adaptability makes tailored signage a smart long-term choice.

Choosing the Right Trailer Signage for Rural Communities

When selecting signage, consider these practical features:

  • High-Visibility Design: Large fonts, bold colours, and clean graphics.
     

  • Durable Build: UV-resistant and weatherproof to withstand outdoor use.
     

  • Custom Fit: Designed for the trailer size to avoid wasted space or poor readability.
     

  • Removable or Modular Options: Allow switching between business and community messaging.
     

  • Illuminated or Reflective Options: Improve visibility during evenings or early mornings.
     

By choosing signage that matches both purpose and environment, regional Australians can make sure their trailers work harder than ever before.

Final Thoughts: A Moving Asset for Regional Australia

From boosting small business exposure to amplifying community voices, Tailored Trailer Signage Solutions are proving their worth across rural Australia. They combine practicality with visibility, turning an everyday trailer into a cost-effective marketing and awareness tool.

For regions that rely on connection, resilience, and ingenuity, these signage solutions are another example of how locals adapt tools to meet their unique needs.
