Tanker on the roll

Written by  Milking It

Seen a giant cheese roll rolling along Southland’s roads?

You aren’t seeing things: in fact, it’s just an Open Country milk tanker that’s had a tasty makeover.

The makeover is the brainchild of Brett Hamilton, the general manager for transport at Open Country’s Awarua depot.

Open Country then turned to the award-winning team at Invercargill’s Creation Signs, who worked on it “all day, all week” to get the cheese roll, also known as ‘Southland Sushi’, tanker finished.
