The Hume Highway presented a few challenges in 1956

Another classic B&W photo of the Hume Highway back in 1956.
A brave driver tries his luck crossing 150-foot-long 'mud hole' on the Hume Highway at Billabong Creek, NSW.
All roads in the Wagga-Tarcutta-Holbrook area were banned to vehicles over five tons.
