Loved it, great watching. Specially when you went through Cobar… take care

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. Thanks Mark

[@timlewis5096]

This trip made me feel homesick. I used to drive through most of those places when I was a rep. Gods own country. Loved it, wouldn't want to live out there but a wonderful place to visit and drive through!!! I need to get a camera lens like yours. I've got a macro lens that I'm learning to use for close up stuff but distance is still to come

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes it's all about the lens when it comes to video work.

An another 1850KM. Even a roadtrai on the map. hahaha. Nice view from the office. Sun up,sun down. Pedal down,clock around. Thanks for the peace. Have a good one.

I'm envious of how clean the tires are. My truck has no treads, so today I asked the company to replace them. Please drive safely and do your best.Mate

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks heaps. Yeah I got good tyres but they're all dirty. It's been raining lots and there's mud everywhere.

That first shot of driving into the morning sunrise with the spotties on was epic, it would make a great poster. The number of times I have fuelled up at that servo in Cobar, I never realised what nice salads they make. It's usually a pee, a can of Coke and a chocolate bar then hot foot it to Wilcannia for the night. Not that Wilcannia is a great destination, but it's a full daylight ride from Walgett on a bike when heading west. I rode Wilcannia to Emmdale in the dark once; it was terrifying, the roo's were crossing the road in convoys.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

You rode all that way on a push bike? Wow I could never do that.

That’s an interesting comment about “the Pads”, by this I think he means the NSW RTA/RMS, Transport inspectors. They check log books and equally important overweight trucks! I hope our man isn’t suggesting that his vehicle would not comply, nor he out of hours!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

No that is not what's suggested.

[@michaelhayden725]

Thanks. I was not suggesting it, but others may not have understood the terminology! Thanks for some great videos. I have driven some of these roads but only in a car, a lot easier to negotiate. Cheers and safe driving!

Man these are great videos but could you make them longer so I can enjoy them more about 30 mins would be good, even just looking through front screen listening to the engine would do thanks.

Unfortunately I have to do everything myself. I just 5 cameras including the drone. Yes it takes a lot of extra work but as you can see it's well worth it after the final edit.

@@RoadTrainAdventures Well now I understand all the angles. I must compliment you on your productions. It takes a lot planning to make it look simple.
