When I first started driving full time in 1993,I'd go to Nebo, up behind Mackay with Mollasses from the sugar mills at Mackay.From there,up the Glenden Road.You'd turn off and climb up into the hills behind Eungalla,all dirt roads.Mate,when the road had been graded,it was like being on a rollercoaster,flat out.Massive fun.All singtles or truck and dogs.

I began driving in the Otway,s in Victoria in 1967.Had to avoid timber jinkers on the narrow twisting 15 feet wide roads with a small potholed edge each side.The corners were so close together that I often had to stop in the gutter to avoid being run over.A great learning experience.

Tungatinah, Tasmania. It is a case of hanging onto your hats, because the West Coast of Tasmania,s roads can dish out tight hairpins, close corners, wet, frosty and snowy conditions. Man oh Man, it is a driving lesson and experience to drive those roads.

I can remember a few roads & areas like that near a monastery in W.A., located in an area called New Norcia, which is 132km north of Perth, near the Great Northern Highway. Driving them (especially at night) was literally “playing with fire” because 1 wrong move either way would’ve f**ked up your day big time, mainly because of the lack of street lights in the area.

Shane, heres a place like that, I first thought you were at one of the dairies at Main Creek, the road is very similar but not quite that narrow, but the closest Ive seen to that road at East Gresford is past Gloucester going to Nowendoc on The Thunderbolts Way. Ive been on that road at East Gresford, a few years back when some of it wasnt sealed, it was bloody terrible at night when something was coming the other way, btw that one lane bridge is pretty recent, last time I was on that road it was an awfully rickety one lane old timber bridge

When working at a fire station in the lower hunter, we got called to a truck off the road up past Gresford. We were called in our hazmat capability. The truck had rolled off the road at some road works and was perched above the river. Craning it back on the road was not going to be easy.

Nice veiw Shane, i would rather drive on roads like that rather than the city, so green considering it's as dry as a cat's bum here...i moved to the bush 43 yrs ago when gympie Qld was still a small township, the backroads are still goat tracks... it's not as good as the road u were on, but have travelled between Widgee and Kilkivan along one of the first tracks build in Qld called the national trail...it does go onto dirt up threw there, but u just putt along, amazing country, no good for a truck, 400metres about sea level, oldest black boys i know of and back in 1860's there were 4000 chinamen worked up there extracting gold and copper mainly...besides that i have been shown evidence of bigfoot prints and there is spose to be a black panther getting around as well...its awesome when there is no street lights or many house lights as the stars just poke u in the eyes...hope u enjoyed my story, take care on them goat tracks Shane

Shane, you did a good job backing out of the farm mate. I was told it's easier to back a semi than a caravan because the trailer is longer, so you have more control. Do you think that is correct? Looks similar to many back roads in Tasmania. I also love your videos, I watch them to the end.

Appreciated mate, and backing anything is easy once you get use to it, but a twin axle (or in my case tri axle) is easier than a single axle as you need to push it around more than it going where it wants to
