Great video Johnno!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Trevor

[@roberthocking9138]

Nice one jonno, love the pop up text and maps telling us where you are, helps a lot . Great drone shots 👍

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Robert. Getting it together.

[@rachelwang1586]

Very nicely put together

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Rachel

[@76guzzi78]

The route you took out of Perth, through Cadoux etc...has that been opened up to road trains now? That saves a lot of travelling to Northam, dropping a trailer and then going back to Perth, collecting another trailer and then going to Northam and hooking up again... also, to reduce your food costs, have you ever thought of getting individual packs of steak, sausages etc vacuumed packed so you can keep them in the fridge and not frozen? Then at night, a small gas BBQ.. fry up the steak, add some veggies or salad etc... too easy.. great video mate!!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes I see lots of people coming up a storm but I'm not one of them. At the end of the day, all I want to do is go to bed. Road Train can use the route I take. Many companies from the east are going that way now.

[@Sircraig7963]

G'day Johnno, Another cool vid. Food prices and comparisons were good ,its hard to get good tucker on the road for the poor old trucker. Loved the drone footage ,as always . Great to get a look in the little towns . Thanks for sharing it with the faithful... Respect...!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Craig. Always great to have you along.

[@jonathand1654]

Another great video

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Jonathan

[@MarioVanDerMaas]

1 of the great vids from all great vids you made. I was looking at the map. A road from Uwora straight to Port Augusta, so you dont have go tru Ceduna. Wil win KM and time. And a road around Port Augusta,so you dont have to go tru it. Better for road trains. Well,just a brain storm.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes I agree. This was my best videos but took a long time to make.

[@SOBIESKI_freedom]

Another amazing adventure across God's country. Thank you for having us along. Very enjoyable. Kudos.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

It's always great to have you along.

[@jessicawang1740]

Excellent

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Very good

[@bobjenkins9208]

love the fact you filmed during loading, most truckers miss that part. I do wish you didnt overlay the video with music though, remember if someone wants to listen to music they can always pick their own. Raw engine sounds are what im after, shame it was all removed, apart from that little bit. Thanks for making the video though, appreciate it

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

In my later videos I add more engine noise but won't cut all the music out. From now I usually have at least 20 engine noise compared to music.

[@wmclare]

I will try the alternate route via Wongan Hills in a few weeks when I head over. I see it is 615km from Coolgardie to Perth via Northam and 651 via Wongan Hills so not much further and it does cut out the dog runs ex Northam which in and out is 200km extra. I know the food prices are expensive in the roadhouses but you need to remember that they are powered by generators and to attract staff is expensive. Better off to factor it into the cost of the trip and suck it up because if you take out one or 2 of them the distances are huge between those that would be left.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes but Norseman isn't. They are on mains power but they are the most expensive place.

[@stefantrnacek1394]

Road house prices was why I had a fridge and took all my own supplies. I'd still liked to have a proper sit down dinner sometimes.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

For sure but I don't like cooking.

lovely Vineyards i only buy and drink Australian wine....hello from ENGLAND

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

What Australian wines do you have over there? That's interesting that you like our wines better. We always like wines from far away countries.

[@darlingbudsofmay1114]

@@RoadTrainAdventures Theres loads..Yellow Tail..Hardys...Morgans Creek ..3 of our favourites

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh OK. Hardys here is a cheap wine they use in restaurants as house wine. The other two are reasonable.

[@darlingbudsofmay1114]

@@RoadTrainAdventures i think its safe to say that Yellow Tail is the one we buy the most,and less than £5 a bottle its spot on.the chocolate bars over here are like £1 for a pack of 4 bars and we can get a 2 lt bottle of coke for £2,and the large salad bowel you got its like £2 here,have a great day and keep them videos coming...cheers

[@khali22003]

I really like your videos (very clear images), your music (good stereo), your layout and your drone. You are an excellent professional! You're getting better and better. I never miss a video of yours. I really like Australia. (I miss when I was a trailer driver). (A Coca Cola 33cl, can, here costs €0.80 and 1.75lt., €2.25.). Health! Happy New Year 2024! Well done!

[@fritzwacker3771]

The prices in out back are very high in relation to Europe. I think its normal due to long transport of goods. A great video. Thanks.

Thanks Fritz. Yes it's pretty bad.

[@XBGTCOUPE]

Great content i see you stopped in my town Port Augusta i used to get called out every night to fix wiring at OTR

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes it's a great place to say up a business like yours. You should get lots of work from truckies going through.

[@KYLIEMUIR]

Prices just keep going up and up. May as well put a huge esky as well as a fridge in the truck and do your woolies shopping before you go. Prices have changed since this was taken i bet lol

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Actually I'll have a look when I go back on the rust. I think the Coke is still the same price.

I see you took a tourist drive. Was that so you could take 2 trailers and bypass the Northam hookup area 😂

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

You got it.

[@brianrollins3245]

Rain makes it a different trip. Why did your route out of Perth go through Wongan Hills rather than just jumping on the Great Eastern Hwy after leaving Kewdale?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

This way uses less time and kilometres than doing a dog run to Northam and back.

[@brianrollins3245]

@@RoadTrainAdventures that makes sense and explains why I can’t immediately recollect whether or not I’ve seen a road train on Greenmount hill. Is east via Wongan Hills a common truck route?

[@bigboyej6176]

I would love to know how you do your drone shots while on the road. I’m assuming you have assistance?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

I use a function of the drone called 'Active Track' which follows me as I drive.

[@raymondrysdyk8630]

Looks like you had a good trip Johnno mate? (:=()

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

A good trip is a good trip. Ha ha

[@hilifta]

Hi Johno, I was is Sydney a month ago (I'm from NZ), and I saw trucks hauling 2x40ft containers. So why do you have to take off your 2nd trailer.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

The road rules for the area. Those truck and trailers are very short. Short truck, the trailers are only 40 foot and the dolly has a short draw bar. We have a longer truck and 45 foot trailers and a longer draw bar making the overall length at least 35 metres compared to just 30.

[@bootsnall8996]

Supply chain is from the east to west as far as Kalgoorlie, that's why it gets more expensive heading west.

[@ACDZ123]

Not everything comes from east ..Perth has coca cola factory for example..Mrs macs pies are WA..lots of stuff comes from wa as well so not factual

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Many things only come from the west.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Very true. Many things only come from the west.

[@ACDZ123]

@RoadTrainAdventures bootsnall obviously hasn't seen the double stack containers on the trains that run back and forth between the east and west cst? Unless he thinks they are just empty containers from Perth 🤦

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Maybe

[@kerrygleeson4409]

John why are travelling out through Cadoux is it because you road train 🦘

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes. So I can take two trailers straight out of Perth. It's less driving than doing a dog run to Northam.

[@dpd6401]

What are your thoughts on the LED spotlights? Do you find them too bright and tiring? I now run Lightforce Hybrids on my 4wd and I’m not convinced they’re better than the FYRLYT halogen I ran before that. I’d be very interested from a professional truckies perspective.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh no I love the led spotlights. They are the best.
