Volume 1 • Bicentennial Super-Liner Feature
A LEGEND FORGED IN ’88
In 1988, as Australia celebrated 200 years of nationhood, Mack Trucks Australia marked its own milestone — 25 years of building trucks for the toughest roads on earth. To honour both occasions, Mack produced something extraordinary: the Bicentennial Super-Liner, now considered one of the most iconic rigs ever built on Australian soil.
Only 16 units were ever produced, each hand-finished and individually named after figures from our nation’s history. These trucks weren’t mass-made; they were crafted with pride — polished metal, prestige trim, and comforts unheard of at the time,
such as sleeper boxes, fridges, premium seating, and more.
BUILT TOUGH. DRIVEN PROUD.
From hauling livestock across red-dust plains to powering along the Hume, the Bicentennial Super-Liner didn’t just move freight — it carried the story of a nation on wheels. Its chrome, stance, and unmistakable Mack growl earned it instant legendary status.
SYMBOL OF A NATION ON WHEELS
Decades later, these rare trucks still turn heads at shows and on the highway. They represent craftsmanship, grit, honour, and the golden era of Australian trucking — a time when horsepower, pride, and hard yakka ruled the road.
We ship orders on standard business days, excluding public holidays. Once your gear heads out, you’ll receive a tracking number to follow its journey through Australia Post, from our shed to your doorstep. During busy sale periods, please allow up to an extra 10 business days for dispatch as we work through orders in the proper Back 40 way: steady, careful, and without cutting corners.
We pack every parcel with the same pride we put into our apparel, but once it’s in the hands of the courier, it’s their run. If Australia Post confirms your parcel is lost or damaged, we’ll help point you in the right direction. Please note: unless you selected Express Shipping with Insurance, we’re unable to replace or refund items affected in transit. Most claims will need to be lodged directly with the courier.
Because out here, we do things straight and honest gear, honest terms, and support wherever we can.
We stand by the gear we make, and we want you to feel the same. Full-priced items can be returned within 20 days for a refund, exchange, or gift card, as long as they’re unworn, unwashed, with tags attached, and purchased directly from our website or our Helensvale store.
Sale items 30% off or less are welcome back for an exchange or gift card. Clearance items 50% off or more are final sale, once they’re gone, they’re gone. Some products can’t be returned for hygiene reasons, including underwear, swimwear without hygiene tags, and gift cards.
Return shipping is the customer’s responsibility unless the item is faulty. If you’re sending something back for a second time, shipping will also be customer-paid. Sale or promotional exchanges incur a $10 return fee, and we’re unable to accept pre-paid post bags. Shipping costs are non-refundable.
Outside the 20-day window, we only accept returns for faulty items under ACCC guidelines. Doing right for our customers is part of the Back 40 way.
