Travel to investigate.
Return to Innovate!
A Churchill Fellowship provides an opportunity for talented Australian Citizens to travel overseas to investigate inspiring practices that will benefit Australian communities.
The high regard globally for a Churchill Fellowship (the Churchill Trust was established in 1965 to honour the memory of Sir Winston Churchill the great world leader) provides a pathway for Fellows to access industry and community leaders from across the world, enabling the exchange of knowledge, technology and experience for the benefit of Australian Society.
It is important to realise that Churchill Fellows themselves are ordinary Australians with extraordinary abilities and aspirations. This could be you!

At this stage, I will be on the road till Thursday noon maybe, clean out truck and home that night, before flying out Friday. I plan to do a blog each day if possible, finding wi-fi to keep data costs down may have some bearing on this, but would welcome your comments, though may likely reply when home.
The TIV and trailers will be having some TLC applied by Rod Pilon Transport during my absence.
I will be asking begging and pleading for help towards the next TIV when I return and will be back on the road in September and working on getting it up and running. The TIV initiative will be ten years old with the trailers being ten in October and I will be doing some press to recognise this then.
Thank you all who read and comment and I hope I provide both some information and interest in this trucking life. Safe Travelling, Rod Hannifey.
