Track and trace
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
In the 1860s, William and Fredericka Male owned a farming property just out of Mannum, when the opportunity arose to take over a small carrying business to Adelaide.
Fredericka considered it not only a good business proposition but also a good way to ensure the delivery of their own farm eggs and butter to the Adelaide market.
They acquired the vehicle described as a “little wagon like a hawker’s” and William ran it together with the farm.
The business grew modestly when neighbours added their produce to the load and began asking William to bring goods back from Adelaide on his return trip.
In 1894, their two sons Eli and Enos took over the carrying business, building it up until they had 60 horses, a passenger-carrying dray, three six-tonne vans and a six-tonne trolley.
GROWING BUSINESS
Male Brothers carted beer, groceries, furniture and building materials from Adelaide.
Mannum had always been a centre for the riverboat trade and much of the produce destined for Adelaide was brought in on paddleboats and then transported via road from Mannum to Adelaide.
FAMILY HISTORY
As a small child, Tim Male shadowed his father around the truck yard and went on his first interstate run at aged 5.
He began working with Male’s Transport at 15 years old and later began interstate work to Melbourne.
Easy on equipment and careful with his load, Tim enjoyed the freedom and comradeship of the road.
