Truckpower: The Glenaap Boys

For most people, retirement is about slowing down. 

For Rob Sibson, it has meant doubling down on the things that matter most; time outdoors, hands-on work, and a lifelong passion for a place that helped shape who he is. 

Set against the rolling hills of the Scenic Rim, just a few kilometres outside Rathdowney in rural Queensland, Glenapp railway siding is a quiet reminder of Australia’s rail history. 

It’s also where Rob can usually be found, tending the grounds, maintaining the heritage signal box, and keeping the story of the place alive. 

Supporting that passion is Rob’s eye-catching Isuzu NPR 65-190 Crew Cab, a truck that now plays a very different role to the workhorses he drove during a long career on the road, but one that is no less important.
