That’s a great looking journey Johnno. I’m missing it already!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Come back anytime.

[@matthewwalter3423]

Was a great video Downie with you and Johnno! Great work!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

@@matthewwalter3423 Awesome. Thanks Matthew. We had a lot of fun making it.

[@joshoneil2263]

Downie and Johnno road trips are the best. It's great to see the journey from a truckies view after doing it by car.

[@allyboy8]

I enjoyed watching you guys trekking across Australia. Would like it if you did it again in the future. Maybe when Johnno goes from Perth up to Queensland. 👍👍

[@EP-mn7eg]

Just finished Downie’s video and went straight to your channel. Thanks for taking us along Johnno! Safe travels!

Another great video, thanks 😊. In one of your next videos, could you show a bit more of how to find a parking slot for the night and how you get yourself comfortable with cooking, sleeping getting washed and so on in the Truck? Cheers, save travels!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

I can answer that now. I never cook myself. I buy meals. As for parking spot, I prefer a spot in the middle of nowhere. I rarely stop at Truckstops for the night.

Like so many others on here, I found you after watching Downie Live. I have to say, though, the roads are sure in great shape. Nary a pothole to be seen. Makes me wonder if the roads are constructed differently than here in the US, or maybe just less traffic so they hold up better. I appreciate your humor and insights into regular Aussie life. Good onya!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. Thanks for coming along. Yes many roads here are very good but there are so many that you just shake your head wondering how this road can be so bad being a major highway.
