[@mumenguvuze2093]

Thanks guys , am from Kenya and I love trucking videos ... I LOVE BEING ON THE ROAD ... tHE EFFORT YOU MAKE IN UPLOADING THESE VIDEOS IS APPRECIATED ..

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. Thanks for coming along with our trips.

Thanks for your Vides.I ve been in Hay 6 Weeks ago and i d entoyd it so much.Sorry for my bad English.I m From Germany. Greetings Frank

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Very nice. Thanks Frank. Yes Hay is a nice place.

[@nomdaploom]

I've watched lots of Road Train videos and nearly all of them are about problems or trying to make deadlines. Your videos offer a welcome respite from those pressures and I find them very enjoyable and relaxing as well as informative. I bet you wouldn't swap what you do to go and work in an office if you were offered a king's ransom. Australia is a truly beautiful country and you get to see different parts of it every working day. I'm sure it's not easy work but it's got to be worth it for the views and the freedom of the open road. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. Yes I love my job m

Oh there you go. Thanks for that info.

Reminds me of the description of the town bore in Nevil Shute's A Town Like Alice. Thanks for the reminder. I haven't read that book in a while, so it can be next.

Very nice. Thanks for coming along.

[@johnjordan4647]

All those Queensland Western towns always look neat and tidy

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes. Maybe they have more time to look after the place or they have a culture where everyone looks after their town.

[@ken_worth]

Hey there Johnno, many thanx for this awesome video. Wonderful footage, wonderful landscape, excelent dronework. Stay safe, always good drive 😀✌

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Very nice. Thanks again for coming along.

[@davetaylor4741]

When you get out in those wide open lands it makes you feel very insignificant. The drone footage accentuates that.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes you're very right

I drove from south of Melbourne to Alexandra Headlands (near Noosa) Qld and that took about 3 days. I suppose your trip took 5 days or even 6. It’s great seeing those Outback towns surviving. Another great video thanks Johnno.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh no David. It's only a 2 day trip and that's with me stopping to make a video all the time.

[@stefantrnacek1394]

Great video, Johnno. Really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to seeing the Perth leg.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Stefan. That's a long one. It will be a two part video.

[@stefantrnacek1394]

@RoadTrainAdventures that will be great. I like the longer videos. How has the new truck been going?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

It's been going great but doesn't feel as powerful

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

Also great to see in the country there’s no issues with those drivers lacking experience taking out fuel pumps, but as soon as you hit the coast there’s concrete bolards galore around the pumps to stop trucks hitting them

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Ha ha. Yes I see that.

[@R_U_A_Fan]

Thanks for sharing those lovely wide open views. Great trip again.

Very nice. Thanks again Bob. The next video is going to be a 2 part series as it's too long.

[@PineappleSkip]

I’ve Swallowed a few flies too, they’d go down better if you had time to salt them, but the idea that gives me the heeby geebies is swallowing a bee. That could be BAD out in the sticks. Anyway, another fascinating video. Haven’t done Aramac to Torrens Ck, but it’s on my bucket list!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

It's mostly a very good road. I've been up it when it was all dirt and line a goat track.

[@bucky13]

This is so cool. I was curious why they don't do road trains anywhere in the US but turns out it's illegal here for the most part. Too crowded I guess.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Surely on the open highways it would be OK.

[@bucky13]

​@@RoadTrainAdventures You would think so, especially out west, but 19m is the limit. Enjoying the videos a ton. I'd like to visit Australia eventually.

In 2023 I did a lap of Queensland from Melbourne. Can confidently say Cunnamulla was my least favourite place. Every person I spoke to was rude. The town had nothing. Couldn’t wait to get out of there. Great video though! Loved seeing all the towns that you stopped in

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh wow. One only gone in town a few times so I can't really say too much.

Question coming from a non truckie. Why do good tyres often blow on a trip apart from being torn to streams from rocks etc. Do they just get hot or what. Love your vids coming from NZ

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks heaps. If a tyre is not pumped up hard enough they can overheat and blow. Sometimes they may go down due to a nail or screw too.
