Kurt Gerhardt Johannsen was born in 1915 at Deep Well, 80 km S of Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia and showed early mechanical/inventive aptitude. A "Stock Journal of SA" book review (Nov 1992) gives some of the following information. He has been referred to as "the man who made things work" and "mechanic extraordinaire". He is best known for his development in 1946 of the first commercially viable road trains for cattle transport and other transportation. A Son of the Red Centre is a smorgasbord of memoirs and anecdotes from his colorful and fascinating life.
